multi-cloud-architecture

version: 4.1.0-fractal name: multi-cloud-architecture description: Design multi-cloud architectures using a decision framework to select and integrate services across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use when building multi-cloud systems, avoiding vendor lock-in, or leveraging best-of-breed services from multiple providers.

Multi-Cloud Architecture

Decision framework and patterns for architecting applications across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to multi-cloud architecture
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Purpose

Design cloud-agnostic architectures and make informed decisions about service selection across cloud providers.

Use this skill when

• Design multi-cloud strategies
• Migrate between cloud providers
• Select cloud services for specific workloads
• Implement cloud-agnostic architectures
• Optimize costs across providers
