Why this section matters
Use these guides when you need to make practical platform decisions:
- Platform fit: Choose services based on workload profile
- Reliability: Design for failure domains and recovery targets
- Security: Apply least privilege, encryption, and policy controls
- Cost: Balance performance and spend using measurable trade-offs
What each provider page includes
- Core services for compute, storage, networking, and data
- Architecture patterns for common delivery scenarios
- Security baseline for IAM, secrets, and network boundaries
- Cost controls for right-sizing and budget guardrails
- Operational practices for monitoring, incident response, and change management
Multi-Cloud Strategy
Adopt multi-cloud only when it solves a clear business or compliance requirement:
- Avoid vendor lock-in
- Meet data residency or regulatory constraints
- Improve resiliency for critical workloads
- Use provider-specific strengths where justified
