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

Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on virtualized hardware in DigitalOcean. Each Droplet you create is a separate server that you can use on its own or as part of a larger cloud-based infrastructure. Droplets from Digital Ocean made moving certain web programs to the cloud a breeze. We've also been able to use contractors without providing them access to our internal network. I enjoy not having to worry about our web apps' security, and I intend to shift more stuff to the digital ocean in the future. You have complete control over how you interact with your Droplets. Our user-friendly UI, CLI, API, and Terraform Provider make managing virtual machines a breeze. Resize a Droplet or a group of them horizontally. Deploy across many data centers around the world, each with a 99.99 percent uptime SLA. Every Droplet comes with unbeatable bandwidth price and 1TB of outbound data transfer each month, as well as free monitoring and firewalls. Read more
