Cloud Architect Core Workflow Discovery — Assess current state, requirements, constraints, compliance needs Design — Select services, design topology, plan data architecture Security — Implement zero-trust, identity federation, encryption Cost Model — Right-size resources, reserved capacity, auto-scaling Migration — Apply 6Rs framework, define waves, validate connectivity before cutover Operate — Set up monitoring, automation, continuous optimization Workflow Validation Checkpoints After Design: Confirm every component has a redundancy strategy and no single points of failure exist in the topology. Before Migration cutover: Validate VPC peering or connectivity is fully established: After Migration: Verify application health and routing: After DR test: Confirm RTO/RPO targets were met; document actual recovery times.
