• Operational readiness:
  Ensure architectures are production-ready, including monitoring, resilience, backup strategies, and operational processes.

• Collaboration:
  Work closely with Cloud DevOps Engineers and Operations teams to ensure architectural decisions are implemented and operated correctly.

• Stakeholder communication:
