Which cloud providers are supported by this skill?

This skill provides configuration patterns and guidance for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Does this skill help with Infrastructure as Code?

Yes, it includes specific Terraform (HCL) examples for provisioning VPN gateways, virtual network gateways, and connection resources across different clouds.

When should I choose Direct Connect over a VPN?

The skill provides guidance on this: use VPN for cost-effective, moderate bandwidth needs over the internet, and use Direct Connect or ExpressRoute for dedicated, low-latency, and high-bandwidth requirements.

How does the skill handle hybrid network security?

It implements security best practices including private connectivity, tunnel encryption, VPC endpoints to avoid internet routing, and the use of VPC Flow Logs for monitoring.
