Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.
Use when setting up, hardening, or reviewing a Linux VPS or cloud server for self-hosting, including DNS, SSH, firewalls, Nginx, static-site hosting, reverse-proxying an app, HTTPS with Let's Encrypt or ACME clients, safe HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects, or optional post-launch network tuning such as BBR.
Runs SQL queries on CloudWatch Logs data exported as Apache Iceberg tables in S3 Tables. Covers VPC Flow Logs, WAF logs, CloudFront access logs, Route 53 resolver logs, Network Firewall logs, EKS audit logs, Verified Access logs, SES logs, VPC Lattice logs, Step Functions logs, NLB access logs, and 20+ other AWS vended data sources. Applies when analyzing network traffic, investigating security incidents, querying exported logs with SQL, enabling S3 Tables integration, configuring log export, correlating logs with other data, or running Athena queries on the aws-cloudwatch table bucket. Trigger phrases: query logs with SQL, analyze logs in Athena, SQL on VPC flow logs, investigate network traffic, run SQL on exported logs, enable S3 Tables for CloudWatch, correlate logs, historical log analysis, set up log querying.
Readiness checklist for homelab VLAN segmentation, local DNS filtering, and WireGuard-style remote access before changing router, firewall, DHCP, or VPN configuration.
Routes AWS networking requests to the correct service skill for implementation. Covers Route 53 (DNS, health checks, routing policies, Resolver, DNS Firewall), CloudFront (caching, edge, OAC, mTLS, signed URLs), Transit Gateway (multi-VPC hub, segmentation, centralized egress), Direct Connect (hybrid link, DX Gateway, MACsec), Site-to-Site VPN (IPsec tunnels, static or BGP), Network Firewall (stateful L3-L7 inspection, FQDN filtering, Suricata), WAF (web ACLs, AWS Managed Rules, rate-based rules, Bot and Fraud Control), and Shield Advanced (L3/L4 DDoS). Applicable when creating, configuring, troubleshooting, or designing across these services, choosing between them, or diagnosing connectivity or traffic-filtering issues. Not for VPC subnets and route tables, load balancers, VPC endpoints, PrivateLink, API Gateway, IAM policy logic, container or serverless networking, or IaC authoring.
Configures AWS Transit Gateway: creating a hub and attaching VPCs, segmenting traffic with route tables, centralizing egress and inspection through a hub (appliances or a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint), forcing east-west traffic between VPCs through AWS Network Firewall, connecting on-premises networks over the transit-gateway side of a Site-to-Site VPN or Direct Connect attachment (including ECMP to aggregate bandwidth across multiple VPN tunnels), peering transit gateways across Regions, migrating from a VPC peering mesh, and routing IP multicast. Applicable when connecting many VPCs through one router, isolating environments, forcing VPC-to-VPC traffic through a central Network Firewall, reaching on-premises over the hub, linking Regions, or moving off a peering mesh. Not applicable for single-VPC routing, VPC peering between two VPCs (vpcpeering skill), Direct Connect gateway or virtual interface setup (directconnect skill), or Route 53 DNS work.
Configures AWS Shield Advanced for enhanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection: subscribing accounts and adding resource protections, enabling automatic application layer (layer 7) mitigation through AWS WAF, configuring health-based detection with Route 53 health checks, setting up Shield Response Team (SRT) access and proactive engagement, reviewing DDoS events and requesting cost protection credits, and aggregating resources into protection groups. Applicable when the user wants stronger DDoS protection for internet-facing resources (CloudFront, Application or Network Load Balancers, Elastic IP addresses, Global Accelerator, or Route 53 hosted zones), wants expert help during an attack, or wants to recover attack-driven scaling charges. Routes to the right per-task procedure in references. Not applicable for authoring AWS WAF rules (waf skill), creating Route 53 health checks (route53 skill), or org-wide Shield Advanced rollout with Firewall Manager (firewallmanager skill).
Configures Amazon Route 53 DNS: public and private records, traffic-steering routing policies, health checks, DNS Firewall, Route 53 Profiles, VPC Resolver (also known as Route 53 Resolver) for hybrid and Outposts networks, and Global Resolver. Applicable when the customer wants to point a hostname at a target, split or fail over traffic across endpoints, monitor an endpoint, block malicious domains, centralize DNS across accounts, or resolve private DNS across a hybrid network. Routes to the right per-task procedure in references. Does not cover CloudFront-specific setup (see the route53-cloudfront skill) or non-DNS networking.
Analyze Terraform plan JSON output for AzureRM Provider to distinguish between false-positive diffs (order-only changes in Set-type attributes) and actual resource changes. Use when reviewing terraform plan output for Azure resources like Application Gateway, Load Balancer, Firewall, Front Door, NSG, and other resources with Set-type attributes that cause spurious diffs due to internal ordering changes.
Manage Cloudflare infrastructure including DNS records, zones, SSL/TLS, caching, firewall rules, Workers, Pages, and analytics. Use when working with Cloudflare APIs, creating or modifying DNS records, managing domain security, purging cache, deploying Workers/Pages, or analyzing traffic. Created by After Dark Systems, LLC.
Expert knowledge for Azure Private Link development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, and configuration. Use when configuring Private Endpoints, DNS zones/Resolver, NSPs, Azure Firewall inspection, or hybrid name resolution, and other Azure Private Link related development tasks. Not for Azure Virtual Network (use azure-virtual-network), Azure Virtual Network Manager (use azure-virtual-network-manager), Azure VPN Gateway (use azure-vpn-gateway), Azure ExpressRoute (use azure-expressroute).
Investigates Google Cloud networking issues by analyzing logs, metrics, and diagnostics. Use when investigating VPC Flow Logs, NAT, firewall, or threat logs, querying latency and throughput metrics, or running Connectivity Tests for path diagnostics.
