View Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure using Multi-Cloud Diagrams

Hybrid cloud is a direction a lot of developers are heading down these days. Usually to take advantage of the strengths and capabilities of one particular cloud provider service.

This might be for cost or performance reasons, of for the convenience of a particular service, like the ease of use storing objects in Amazon S3 when the bulk of your application is hosted in Google Cloud.

You might also replicate services across multiple clouds to mitigate the chances of a cloud outage bringing down your entire application.

Visualizing your cloud infrastructure and resources can be difficult when you have a hybrid cloud solution. At best, your diagramming solution can visualise all the platforms you are using, only on separate diagrams, but typically they only support automation on a single cloud vendor so you have to revert to manual diagrams and console hopping to diagram your app infrastructure which is not ideal.

In this article you’ll learn an easy way to combine infrastructure from multiple cloud vendors (AWS, Azure and GCP) onto a single diagram that once established, stays up to date automatically

Hybrid diagrams allow your engineers, new hires and external consultants to get a visual fix on exactly what you have running where so they can…
