CLOUD ARCHITECT LAB
Architecture Case Studies
Practical cloud architectures developed through a repeatable engineering lifecycle. Each case study connects requirements, architecture, implementation, validation, and lessons learned.
CAL-001
AWS Networking Foundations
Infrastructure as Code.
Architecture as Code.
AWS • Terraform • Amazon VPC • Mermaid
Establishes the reusable networking foundation for Cloud Architect Lab through custom VPC design, public and private subnet separation, explicit routing, security controls, and validation.

Enterprise VPC Peering
Infrastructure as Code.
Architecture as Code.
AWS • Terraform • VPC Peering • NAT Gateway • Network ACLs
Extends the CAL networking foundation into a two-VPC enterprise architecture with reusable modules, private management paths, independent outbound egress, and defense-in-depth controls.

Cloud architecture is not complete when resources deploy successfully. Each case study is expected to explain what the system must accomplish, why the design was selected, how it was implemented, how it was validated, and what should improve next.
