Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "cloud-infrastructure" from https://skillstore.io/skills/89jobrien-cloud-infrastructure.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/89jobrien-cloud-infrastructure/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "cloud-infrastructure". Need a production architecture for a web application on AWS.

Expected outcome:

  • Use managed containers behind a load balancer across two availability zones.
  • Store relational data in a managed database with automated backups.
  • Place static assets in object storage behind a CDN.
  • Add monitoring for latency, errors, saturation, and monthly cost.

Using "cloud-infrastructure". Need to reduce cloud costs without hurting reliability.

Expected outcome:

  • Right-size compute based on measured utilization.
  • Use reserved capacity for steady workloads and spot capacity for interruptible jobs.
  • Move cold data to cheaper storage tiers with lifecycle policies.
  • Track cost by service and team through tags or labels.

What You Can Build

Plan a New Platform

Design a first production cloud architecture with clear compute, storage, database, and network choices.

Improve Existing Infrastructure

Review Terraform structure, high availability choices, and cloud cost drivers before a scaling milestone.

Compare Multi-Cloud Options

Translate architecture needs across AWS, Azure, and GCP services during vendor selection.

Try These Prompts

Plan a Basic Cloud Architecture 
Design a cloud architecture for a small web application with a database, static assets, and basic monitoring.
Compare Cloud Services 
Compare AWS, Azure, and GCP service choices for containers, relational databases, object storage, and caching.
Optimize Terraform and Costs 
Review my Terraform organization and suggest cost optimization steps for compute, storage, and network usage.
Design Multi-Region Resilience 
Create a multi-region architecture plan with failover, data replication, security controls, observability, and recovery procedures.

Best Practices

  • Start with workload requirements, then choose cloud services that match availability, latency, and operations needs.
  • Keep Terraform modules small, versioned, documented, and separated by environment state.
  • Review identity, network boundaries, encryption, backup tests, and monitoring before production launch.

Avoid

  • Do not copy a reference architecture without checking workload requirements and team operations capacity.
  • Do not store Terraform state files, secrets, or long-term credentials in source control.
  • Do not design multi-region systems before defining recovery objectives and data consistency needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill generate Terraform code?
It gives Terraform structure and design guidance. It does not include ready-made Terraform modules.
Which cloud providers are covered?
It covers AWS, Azure, and GCP service patterns for compute, storage, databases, networking, and resilience.
Can this skill inspect my cloud account?
No. It provides planning guidance and cannot access live accounts, billing data, or deployed resources.
Is this useful for cost optimization?
Yes. It lists compute, storage, and network savings tactics that support a cost review.
Can I use it with Claude Code or Codex?
Yes. The report declares support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
Does it replace a security architecture review?
No. It highlights common cloud controls, but specialist review is still needed for regulated systems.
