AWS VPC Diagram Generator

When you are working with AWS VPC infrastructure, there are many many reasons why you can benefit from accurate automatically generated infrastructure diagrams.

Visualizing your cloud infrastructure allows you to immediately comprehend what is running, where it is running and how it all hangs together. Logically laid out diagrams created with an AWS VPC Diagram Generator give you immediate line of sight on what your AWS infrastructure looks like without you having to spend days or weeks trawling through your AWS Console manually constructing diagrams.

Unless you automate, the major problem with diagrams, is that they take forever to draw manually and the second you finish one, the config changes and it’s out of date.

It can be a full time job keeping on top of accurate AWS VPC documentation, especially if you have large environments, lots of accounts, or multiple applications that you need to control.

It’s a massive time suck! You’ve got way better things to do, so why would you get bogged down in creating and updating diagrams manually?

If you or your team are like most development or Ops organisations, you work to deadlines. There’s new code to push, new features and capabilities to roll out across your infrastructure and management, as always, want it rolled out yesterday. So any time savings you can find in your build pipeline have to be a good thing.

If you’re on-boarding a new engineer or consultant, do you talk them through the infrastructure, hand them log in credentials, point them at the consoles and let them work it out, or do you drag out the whiteboard and markers and start drawing?

If you had your AWS infrastructure in diagram form, or better yet, an interactive AWS Network diagram, the mere fact they can visualize the network, see all the VPC’s laid out in a logical format, see all the resources, the EC2 instances, the databases, the gateways then the chances are you’ve just saved hours or days getting them up to speed.

Having interactive diagrams where resources are selectable and you can deep dive into the settings and metadata provide an even faster method for you, your team and new recruits to really understand what your AWS network looks like and how it is configured.

The Hava AWS VPC Diagram Generator achieves this in a few short minutes.
