Building a well-architected cloud application can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to navigating the various cloud providers and their seemingly endless array of services. But fear not, intrepid traveler! In this talk, we'll be your guide to the galaxy of cloud architecture, providing practical strategies for building secure and reliable cloud applications on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Just like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I will break down the complex world of cloud computing into manageable pieces, examining the six pillars of a well-architected cloud application and the tools and resources offered by each cloud provider. We'll explore topics like operational excellence, security, reliability, cost optimization, performance efficiency, and migration, highlighting best practices and common pitfalls to avoid.

By the end of this talk, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the vast expanse of cloud architecture and build a well-architected cloud application that can withstand any challenge the universe throws your way. So, grab your towel and join us on this journey through the cloud!
