How does this skill help with Infrastructure as Code?

It includes production-ready Terraform snippets for implementing budget alerts, S3 lifecycle configurations, and auto-scaling policies to automate cost management.

Can it help reduce storage costs?

Yes, it provides multi-tier storage patterns and lifecycle policies to transition data from hot storage to cheaper archive classes like S3 Glacier or Deep Archive.

Which cloud providers does this skill support?

It provides comprehensive strategies for all major cloud providers, specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

What is the best strategy for intermittent workloads?

The skill recommends leveraging Spot Instances (AWS) or Preemptible VMs (GCP) for stateless or batch workloads, offering up to 90% savings compared to on-demand pricing.

Does it include governance and monitoring?

Absolutely. It features standardized tagging strategies and budget alert configurations to ensure continuous visibility and cost anomaly detection.
