Best for

  • Designing hub-and-spoke VPC architectures with Transit Gateway for multi-account enterprise environments
  • Planning IP address allocation and subnetting strategies for 3-5 year growth with RFC 1918 compliance
  • Architecting hybrid DNS resolution with Route 53 Resolver endpoints for on-premises integration
  • Designing multi-tier load balancing with Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers
  • Creating network security group hierarchies and zero-trust network segmentation patterns

What you'll get

  • Comprehensive network architecture diagram with VPC layouts, subnet tiers, routing tables, and security group mappings across multiple availability zones
  • Detailed IP allocation spreadsheet with CIDR block assignments, subnet sizing calculations, and growth capacity planning for 5-year horizon
  • Step-by-step implementation guide with Terraform modules, DNS zone configurations, and hybrid connectivity setup procedures
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Physical network hardware selection or data center cabling designs
  • ×Network troubleshooting or real-time performance diagnostics
  • ×Vendor-specific firewall configuration beyond AWS/Azure/GCP native services
  • ×Legacy on-premises network migration without cloud integration
Expects

Clear requirements including traffic patterns, compliance needs, growth projections, hybrid connectivity requirements, and preferred cloud platform.

Returns

Detailed network topology diagrams, IP allocation schemes, routing tables, security group configurations, and implementation playbooks with cost estimates.
