.claude/skills/multi-cloud-architecture/# Multi-Cloud Architecture Decision framework and patterns for architecting applications across AWS, Azure, and GCP. ## Purpose Design cloud-agnostic architectures and make informed decisions about service selection across cloud providers. ## When to Use - Design multi-cloud strategies - Migrate between cloud providers - Select cloud services for specific workloads - Implement cloud-agnostic architectures - Optimize costs across providers ## Cloud Service Comparison ### Compute Services | AWS | Azure | GCP | Use Case | | ------- | ------------------- | --------------- | ------------------ | | EC2 | Virtual Machines | Compute Engine | IaaS VMs | | ECS | Container Instances | Cloud Run | Containers | | EKS | AKS | GKE | Kubernetes | | Lambda | Functions | Cloud Functions | Serverless | | Fargate | Container Apps | Cloud Run | Managed containers | ### Storage Services | AWS | Azure | GCP | Use Case | | ------- | --------------- | --------------- | -------------- | | S3 | Blob Storage | Cloud Storage | Object storage | | EBS | Managed Disks | Persistent Disk | Block storage | | EFS | Azure Files | Filestore | File storage | | Glacier | Archive Storage | Archive Storage | Cold storage | ### Database Services | AWS | Azure | GCP | Use Case | | ----------- | ---------------- | ------------- | --------------- | | RDS | SQL Database | Cloud SQL | Managed SQL | | DynamoDB | Cosmos DB | Firestore | NoSQL | | Aurora | PostgreSQL/MySQL | Cloud Spanner | Distributed SQL | | ElastiCache | Cache for Redis | Memorystore | Caching | **Reference:** See `references/service-comparison.md` for complete comparison ## Multi-Cloud Patterns ### Pattern 1: Single Provider wi
