How does the skill handle routing between on-premises and cloud?

It provides BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) configuration standards for dynamic routing, including AS number management and route propagation settings.

When should I choose Direct Connect or ExpressRoute over a VPN?

Dedicated connections like Direct Connect are recommended for high-bandwidth requirements (up to 100 Gbps), low latency, and consistent network performance, whereas VPNs are more cost-effective for moderate traffic.

What cloud providers does this skill support?

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

Does this skill include Infrastructure as Code examples?

Yes, it includes Terraform (HCL) templates for deploying VPN gateways, customer gateways, and virtual network gateways across different providers.

Cloud Infrastructure

Configures secure, high-performance connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and major cloud platforms using VPN and dedicated connections.

About

This skill provides comprehensive patterns and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates for establishing robust network links between local data centers and cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It guides users through selecting between Site-to-Site VPNs for cost-effectiveness and dedicated lines like Direct Connect or ExpressRoute for low-latency requirements. By implementing standard architectures like Hub-and-Spoke or Multi-Region hybrid setups, the skill ensures secure routing via BGP and adherence to industry security best practices, making it essential for enterprises transitioning to the cloud or maintaining complex cross-premises workloads.
