If you have been working with AWS VPCs for any length of time, you understand the importance of documenting your AWS VPCs using cloud architecture diagrams. Not only do they visually represent the construction of your AWS network, they also speed up the on-boarding of new team members and external consultants the also help you to quickly identify what the network should look like in the middle of an outage.

When you are working with Azure cloud computing infrastructure in your role as a DevOps engineer, there are many benefits to creating and maintaining accurate Microsoft Azure diagrams.

You can effectively communicate your Azure network design to both technical DevOps staff, developers and also management where necessary.  If you are onboarding new DevOps engineers, or engaging external consultants, you can bring them up to speed very quickly with a well laid out accurate infrastructure diagram.

If you are taking on a new client, application or project, having access to detailed infrastructure documentation is a massive advantage when trying to understand exactly what is running where. Back in our cloud consulting days, diagramming a new client's infrastructure was always the first job in the on-boarding process. It was often time consuming, laborious but necessary in establishing exactly what was going on prior to starting work on improving or redesigning infrastructure.

One of the more advanced features of the Hava business plan is the ability to create teams.

Professional cloud engineers understand the importance of documenting networks using network topology diagrams. Not only do they assist with communicating the construction of your cloud network, they also speed up on boarding new team members, external consultants and quickly identifying what the network should look like in the middle of an outage.

Accurate AWS network diagrams play a vital role in monitoring and internally communicating the operational status and design of well engineered AWS infrastructure, which is why serious AWS development teams use an AWS Diagram Builder.

The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a downloadable tool that you can use to manage your AWS services.

Amazon CloudWatch is an AWS service designed to help you monitor the performance and health of your AWS resources and applications. CloudWatch initiates communication with other services in response to events or schedules. CloudWatch will also aggregate logs from other services and aggregate notifications and alarms from groups of services onto a customised dashboard.

AWS cloud architecture diagrams are used for many important tasks. Depending on your role, you will most likely be interested in the elements on the diagram that you are responsible for.

A large part of managing cloud infrastructure is making sure everything is running as expected so that your applications operate and access data efficiently while avoiding over specified resources that cost more than is necessary.
