It is priority for businesses and their engineering staff to have a good understanding of how their cloud infrastructure works and how it hangs together. One way to help with this understanding is cloud architecture visualizations that illustrate the various components and how they fit together. In this post, we will look at the benefits of automating your cloud architecture visualization.

With the availability of multiple cloud platforms each with their own strengths and cost advantages, it is not uncommon for IT teams and cloud architects to take advantage of resources from multiple cloud vendors when designing cloud based application architecture.

With this innovation came the demand for mutli-cloud diagram tools.

Most developers and engineers working with cloud infrastructure will agree that a well laid out network topology diagram (cloud map) is an essential tool when either communicating how the architecture is built, or for use when tracking down the reason for an application outage or performance dip.

There's no question organizations need robust cloud infrastructure and security management tools to ensure their data and resources remain secure. Visualizing your security stance using Cloud Security Mapping is a great way to improve understanding and communications surrounding your cloud architecture security.

Hybrid Cloud Diagramming With Hava

Some call it Hybrid Cloud, while others refer to it as Multi Cloud. Whatever your preference, when you build solutions using more than one public cloud provider, then the complexity of mapping out your cloud architecture just got a little trickier.

Hava is an automated cloud architecture diagramming solution that supports the top 3 public cloud providers AWS, Azure and GCP. When you connect your cloud accounts, Hava automatically maps the architecture. In the case of hybrid cloud you can pull in multiple cloud environments into a single diagram and add connections producing a multi cloud diagram that once saved will be automatically updated for you.

What is Hybrid Cloud? 

Modern IT strategies have seen a mass migration away from on premise hardware to the cloud which brings its own challenges. Organizations are seeking new ways to remain agile, cost-effective, and secure. Hybrid cloud architecture has emerged as a game-changing solution, seamlessly integrating public clouds for unparalleled flexibility and scalability.

One of the major advantages of using Hava to automate your AWS, Azure and GCP network infrastructure diagramming is the hands free way diagrams are generated and tracked.

If you are building or supporting cloud infrastructure built on AWS, GCP or Azure it is now extremely simple to get a live graphical snapshot of your cloud network topology and extract the diagrams with Hava's cloud diagram export options.

When you are building on GCP or working with applications built on GCP as a development or operations engineer you possibly already appreciate the value of a well laid out network topology diagram. Especially if that diagram accurately represents what resources you have configured in your (or your client's) GCP accounts. This is where GCP Diagram Automation comes into play.
