Multi-Cloud Architecture

GitOps-native.
Zero-trust by design.

From code to production — secured at every gate. Every tool is interchangeable, every connection is verified, every deployment is traceable.

This reference architecture shows how we build and operate multi-cloud infrastructure using GitOps, immutable deployments, and shift-left security. Each component can be swapped for equivalent tools without changing the security model.

Design Principles

Immutable Infrastructure

No SSH to production. All changes through Git. Infrastructure replaced, never patched.

Shift-Left Security

SAST/DAST/SCA at build time. Container scanning before registry. Policy enforcement at admission.

GitOps Single Source of Truth

Git is the only way to change state. Drift automatically detected and corrected.

Zero-Trust Pipeline

Every stage authenticates. Artifacts signed. Deployment requires verified attestation chain.

Live Architecture

Hover over any component to see what it does. Use the tabs to trace data flows through each operational layer. The ↔ badge indicates swappable tool choices.

PIPELINE SECURITY

Signed commits, branch protection, SAST/DAST at build, signed container images, admission controller verification, SLSA provenance.

SECRETS MANAGEMENT

Short-lived credentials, dynamic secrets via Vault, OIDC federation for CI (no static creds), workload identity, automatic rotation.

MULTI-CLOUD ABSTRACTION

Cloud-agnostic IaC, workloads portable between providers, vendor lock-in minimized through abstraction layers and standard APIs.
