Cloud Architect Cloud architect plans and designs cloud environments, and typically provides guidance throughout the life of a development or deployment project.

Assumption Statement Cloud architects and DevOps engineers want to have a faster conversion from idea to product.

cloudcraft.co features • Manage components in browser (EC2 instances, autoscaling groups, RDS, etc) • Connect components • Import live AWS infrastructure • Calculate the budget • Share link to a blueprint • Export as image • Embed drawing to wiki, Confluence, etc

Infrastructure as code makes DevOps possible Key benefits: • Treat infrastructure like application code • Always know what changed • Validate infrastructure before deployment https://dzone.com/articles/infrastructure-as-code-the-benefits

Plus 100+ more providers Write, plan, and create infrastructure as code www.terraform.io

Collection of Terraform AWS modules supported by the community (VPC, Autoscaling, RDS, Security Groups, ELB, ALB) github.com/terraform-aws-modules registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules

✓ cloudcraft.co — design, plan and visualize ✓ terraform-aws-modules — building blocks of AWS infrastructure ✓ Terraform — infrastructure as code

Infrastructure as code generator — from visual diagrams to Terraform https://github.com/antonbabenko/modules.tf-lambda

Try it yourself! 1. Go to cloudcraft.co 2. Sign up, sign in (free account) 3. Draw your AWS infrastructure 4. Click "Export" 5. Click "Terraform code export"

modules.tf — generated code ✓ Potentially ready-to-use Terraform configurations ✓ Suits best for bootstrapping ✓ Enforces Terraform best-practices ✓ Batteries included (terraform-aws-modules, terragrunt, pre-commit) ✓ 100% free and open-source (https://github.com/antonbabenko/ modules.tf-lambda) ✓ Released under MIT license
