I would propose a phased target architecture using managed AWS services where appropriate, define network and identity boundaries, automate the environment through IaC, and establish measurable reliability, performance, and cost objectives. I would then deliver the migration through prioritized backlog increments with testing, runbooks, and operational handover. What observability components do you consider essential for a production AWS workload? I establish metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting thresholds, and service-level indicators that reflect user and business impact. I use AWS-native tools such as CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Config alongside platforms such as Datadog or OpenTelemetry when they fit the client environment. Alerts should be actionable, linked to runbooks, and continuously refined to reduce noise and accelerate root-cause analysis. How do you approach infrastructure-as-code design for a large multi-team environment? I create modular, versioned components with clear ownership and interfaces, separating foundational platform resources from workload-specific deployments. I enforce code review, automated validation, policy checks, and repeatable CI/CD pipelines. The structure should support independent delivery while preserving security guardrails, consistency, and safe promotion across environments. Describe how you would handle conflicting priorities among client stakeholders during a cloud transformation. I would make the trade-offs explicit by connecting each request to business outcomes, risk, cost, delivery effort, and architectural dependencies. I would facilitate a decision-oriented discussion, document agreed priorities, and convert decisions into a transparent backlog and roadmap. Frequent communication and demonstrable incremental outcomes help maintain alignment as priorities evolve. How do you embed cloud security and cost optimization into an architecture rather than treating them as later tasks? I include security and cost requirements at the architecture stage through least-privilege IAM, encryption, network segmentation, logging, policy-as-code, tagging, budgets, and right-sizing standards. I automate guardrails in IaC and CI/CD pipelines so that compliant patterns are the easiest patterns to use. I also review operational metrics regularly to identify utilization, reliability, and cost improvement opportunities. Next step ## Apply now.
