Can I use this for disaster recovery planning?

Absolutely. The skill outlines specific patterns for cross-cloud database replication, automated failover, and geographic distribution.

How does this skill help with vendor lock-in?

It provides patterns for cloud-agnostic abstraction, recommending the use of Kubernetes, S3-compatible storage, and open-source database alternatives to ensure portability.

Which cloud providers are supported by this skill?

This skill focus on the 'Big Three' providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Does it include cost management advice?

Yes, it includes strategies for leveraging reserved capacity, spot instances across providers, and right-sizing resources to optimize total cloud spend.

Is Infrastructure as Code included?

The skill highlights Terraform and OpenTofu as best practices for implementing the infrastructure abstraction layer across multiple clouds.
