This repository offers a vast collection of over 1100 practical cloud architecture recipes, projects, and real-world solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It targets engineers, researchers, and power users seeking to deepen their cloud knowledge, understand service integration, and gain hands-on experience, particularly beneficial for interview preparation. The primary benefit is access to deployable, real-world scenarios with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates, enabling rapid learning and skill development.

How It Works

The project structures each solution with a clear problem/solution format, including diagrams, step-by-step command-line instructions, discussion points, and crucial cleanup steps to manage cloud costs. It emphasizes using cloud provider CLIs to foster a deeper understanding of underlying APIs and infrastructure management. This approach provides practical, hands-on experience with diverse cloud services and architectures.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: Active cloud provider account(s) (AWS, Azure, GCP), installed and configured cloud CLI tools, basic cloud architecture concepts, and familiarity with IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Azure Bicep).
• Recommendation: Use the cloud provider's "Cloud Shell" for quick implementation and learning.
• Cost Warning: Users are strongly advised to set up budget alerts with their chosen provider due to the nature of deploying cloud resources.

Highlighted Details

• Scale: Over 1110 projects, with significant coverage for AWS (492), GCP (350), and Azure (268).
• Popular Services: Frequently features Lambda (217), Cloudwatch (185), Cloud Functions (185), S3 (168), and IAM (137).
• IaC Support: Includes recipes in Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK (TypeScript/Python), Azure Bicep, and Bash scripts.
• Categorization: Projects span 12 categories, including Compute, Storage, Databases, AI/ML, and Security.
• Difficulty: Average difficulty rated 2.5 out of 4.0.

Limitations & Caveats

Users must be prepared for potential cloud costs and are advised to implement budget alerts and cleanup procedures diligently. The reliance on CLI tools requires a comfort level with terminal-based operations. The extensive nature of the collection necessitates user-driven selection and adaptation of recipes to specific needs.
