Overview

Description

Cloudcraft is a drawing tool that allows you to visualize and create dynamic AWS diagrams of your cloud infrastructure. It is the fastest way for system designers and developers to iterate their design when it comes to conducting an inventory of all their cloud-based resources offered to customers. It has built-in components for EC2, ELB, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Redshift, CloudFront, Route 53, etc. that users can assemble to produce actual representations of services from their cloud infrastructure. The architect has the added advantage of viewing the current config and cost of every component by simply clicking on it. This solution can also capture data from the cloud by allowing the integration of AWS of the company's choice. Enterprises can have live diagrams that contain rich data that allow them to get insights into the status and health of the cloud setup. Once imported, the live components stay connected to the cloud environment and remain up to date. Read more

Apache CloudStack is an open-source cloud computing software that helps companies deploy and manage large networks of digital machines, as a highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing solution. At present, the software is compatible with the most popular industry-specific hypervisors like KVM, Hyper-V, XenServer/XCP and/or VMware ESXi with vSphere, enabling seamless business. It also comes equipped with a friendly interface allowing businesses to get their cloud space monitored with ease. Apache CloudStack’s native API is compatible with an Amazon S3/EC2 object storage service. Moreover, companies also get to depend on the same to manage storage, in cases where they are using hypervisors (primary storage) along with other elements like snapshots, templates and ISO images (secondary storage). Moreover, Apache CloudStack allows users to orchestrate network services from the data link layer (L2) to the application layer (L7) services, like NAT, DHCP, VPN, firewall, etc. The software also provides companies with the facility of multi-tenancy and account separation simultaneously.
