How does this skill help with cloud migration?

It utilizes the '6 R's' framework (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retain, Retire) to help categorize assets and build a phased migration roadmap.

Can it assist with Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?

Yes, it emphasizes operational excellence by recommending IaC best practices using tools like Terraform and CloudFormation for repeatable deployments.

Does it include security best practices?

Absolutely. It integrates 'Security by Design' principles, focusing on IAM least privilege, encryption, network isolation, and compliance auditing.

Is this skill useful for cost management?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for cost optimization such as right-sizing instances, utilizing Spot instances, and setting up automated lifecycle policies.

Which cloud providers are supported by this skill?

The skill provides comprehensive guidance for AWS, Azure, and GCP, including provider-specific services and multi-cloud architectural patterns.
