Individual skill
google-cloud-solution-architecture
Interactively discovers requirements and designs holistic, multi-product system architectures, solution blueprints, and deployment recommendations for complex workloads on Google Cloud. Use when designing end-to-end cloud solutions, selecting and integrating Google Cloud services, generating architecture diagrams, or conducting requirements discovery for new cloud workloads or migrations. Don't use for single-product tasks (use product-specific skills), initial onboarding or authentication (use google-cloud-recipe-*), Well-Architected Framework reviews or audits (use google-cloud-waf-*), or workloads covered by specialized solution skills.
