Cloudcraft Review

Optimized For Visualizing And Monitoring AWS Resources

Cloudcraft is a diagramming solution that is exclusively built for managing AWS or Amazon Web Services resources. In fact, it is designed and optimized in such a way that it includes built-in components that represent services, processes, and resources from Amazon Web Services’ suite of cloud-computing platforms; such as EC2, ELB, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Redshift, CloudFront, Route 53, and more. With such components, users will be able to build cloud infrastructure diagrams that capture their key services.

 Capture Actual Data And Create Live Diagrams 

The visual designer allows users to capture data from their cloud infrastructures so they can produce live diagrams that show up-to-date information and data. All they need to do is to connect their existing Amazon cloud service account to the solution. Once they are able to integrate their AWS account, they can then import data from their cloud infrastructure. The live components in their diagram can show information such as configuration and cost. Also, through the aid of tags, they can switch between their diagram and the AWS Web Console.

Keep Everything Up To Date And Connected

Another great feature of the tool is that it ensures that data are always synchronized. This means that whatever data they imported into the solution is synchronized with the data they have within their cloud infrastructure. Thus, when changes are made to the data in the actual cloud environment, the solution will automatically update the diagram and reflect the changes. In addition, the live components in the diagram will always remain connected to each other.

Enhance Cloud Inventory With Valuable Insights

Cloudcraft can also generate valuable information about the drawn cloud infrastructure along with the data imported into the tool. It can produce status information related to an infrastructure component as well as display information on the health of the entire cloud infrastructure. These pieces of information are very useful when users are conducting an inventory of their AWS resources and services.

Drive Collaboration

The diagramming solution delivers collaboration features. For example, users can directly attach documents to any component within the diagram. This makes it easy for them to make their diagrams more realistic and substantiated. They can also make edits wherein team members can make changes to the diagrams online. The solution offers export capabilities, enabling users to share diagrams with their colleagues or present them during meetings and discussions. If they want to export their diagrams as Word documents or publish them on wikis, Cloudcraft makes that possible as well.
