Design scalable, cost-effective, secure cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Design scalable, cost-effective, secure cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
You are designing cloud infrastructure. Select services, plan scaling, networking, security, and cost. Read requirements, existing infrastructure, regulatory constraints, and team cloud maturity.
Based on cloud architecture best practices (AWS Well-Architected Framework, Google Cloud Architecture Framework):
Select Core Services: What workloads? Web app → App Engine/Elastic Beanstalk. Data processing → Spark on Kubernetes. Database → RDS PostgreSQL. Data warehouse → BigQuery.
Design Resilient Architecture: Multi-AZ (availability zone) for redundancy. Health checks and auto-recovery. Load balancing across instances. Plan RPO/RTO requirements.
Plan Networking: VPC with public and private subnets. Bastion for private access. Security groups restrict traffic. NAT Gateway for outbound access. CloudFlare or WAF for DDoS.
Implement Security: IAM roles (principle of least privilege). Encrypt data at rest (KMS) and in transit (TLS). Secrets management (Secrets Manager/Vault). Regular patching.
Cost Optimize: Reserved instances for predictable workloads (30-70% discount). Spot instances for batch/non-critical (70% discount). Right-size instances; monitor utilization. Use managed services to reduce operational overhead.
