Derive cloud infrastructure from a workload's actual constraints and required capabilities — never from "X is popular" or from whichever provider is already open in a tab. Use whenever choosing or re-evaluating a cloud provider, a managed service, or a deployment architecture; whenever comparing AWS/GCP/Alibaba/Azure/other for a workload; or whenever a choice is being justified by brand familiarity, a tutorial's default, or sunk cost instead of a stated requirement.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cloud Architecture Selection Most cloud choices are not decisions — they are defaults inherited from whichever tutorial, employer, or credit grant came first, retroactively justified. This skill does not encode which cloud is better; it encodes **how to earn an infrastructure decision**, the same way `red-team-auditing` does not encode which bug is real — it encodes how to earn the verdict. Composes with the library: - **decision-record-discipline** — this skill's output *is* a decision record: it supplies the Forces (the constraint table below) and Alternatives rejected (the trade-off matrix); write the final artifact using that skill's six fields, don't reinvent a second template here - **dependency-provenance** — a managed service is a dependency: know exactly what you're running, on whose infrastructure, under what SLA, the same way you'd track a package - **cloud-control-plane-reasoning** — once a provider/architecture is chosen, that skill reasons about the blast radius of its identity and control-plane model; this skill decides *which* control plane you're accepting - **secret-lifecycle-discipline** — provider choice determines your secret …

How to install
mdr add annatchijova/skills/cloud-architecture-selection@sha256:ec90607638b73312The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.babb9c5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
