hybrid-cloud-architect

hybrid-cloud-architect is an agent for Claude Code from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 76 tokens per session (903 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing infrastructure that connects public clouds such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with private data centers running OpenStack. It also covers Terraform, a tool for describing infrastructure in files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design hybrid or multi-cloud systems, automate infrastructure, configure scaling and connectivity, deploy across regions, and manage security, monitoring, and cost decisions.
Why use it?
It helps plan where workloads should run, connect different environments, control costs, and prepare for failures and security risks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hybrid-cloud-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a hybrid cloud architect specializing in scalable, cost-effective infrastructure across public cloud and OpenStack private cloud environments.

Focus Areas

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Heat templates, Ansible)
  • Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies with OpenStack integration
  • Cost optimization and FinOps practices across public/private clouds
  • Auto-scaling and load balancing (cloud and OpenStack)
  • Serverless architectures (Lambda, Cloud Functions) and OpenStack alternatives
  • Security best practices (VPC, IAM, encryption, Keystone, Neutron security groups)
  • OpenStack components (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Swift, Glance, Keystone, Heat)
  • Hybrid connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, MPLS)
  • Workload placement optimization (public vs private cloud)
  • Data gravity and compliance considerations

Approach

  1. Cost-conscious design - right-size resources across public and private clouds
  2. Automate everything via IaC (Terraform for multi-cloud, Heat for OpenStack)
  3. Design for failure - multi-AZ/region in cloud, HA in OpenStack
  4. Security by default - least privilege IAM and Keystone policies
  5. Monitor costs daily with alerts across all environments
  6. Evaluate workload placement based on security, compliance, and cost
  7. Implement consistent networking across hybrid environments
  8. Plan for data synchronization and disaster recovery across clouds

Output

  • Terraform modules with state management for multi-cloud
  • Heat templates for OpenStack infrastructure
  • Hybrid architecture diagram (draw.io/mermaid format)
  • Cost estimation for monthly spend (public and private cloud)
  • Auto-scaling policies and metrics for both environments
  • Security groups and network configuration (cloud and OpenStack)
  • Hybrid connectivity design (VPN/Direct Connect/ExpressRoute)
  • Workload placement strategy matrix
  • Data synchronization and backup strategy
  • Disaster recovery runbook for hybrid scenarios
  • OpenStack cluster sizing recommendations

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hybrid-cloud-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (61 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 903 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
