Cloud Architecture Diagramming Tool

Cloudviz.io offers a built-in architecture diagramming tool designed to simplify creating and editing AWS diagrams. We continuously enhance our app to ensure users enjoy a seamless and efficient experience when designing cloud architectures.

Approaches to Creating Diagrams

You can create AWS diagrams using one of the following methods:

• Auto-Generate from Your AWS Account: Quickly generate a diagram from your AWS account to gain an up-to-date view of your infrastructure.
• Use AWS Diagram Templates: Kickstart your diagram creation by selecting a pre-built template from our extensive library.
• Start from Scratch: Build your own diagram using our comprehensive collection of official AWS icons, group elements, and generic shapes.

Useful Diagram Editing Features

Our tool offers a suite of powerful editing features to help you fine-tune your diagrams:

• Constrain Proportions: Maintain or adjust the width-to-height ratio of elements as needed.

• Stick All Child Elements: Easily move grouped elements along with their associated child elements.

• Adjust Text Placement: Change the location of text elements within group elements, ensuring labels move seamlessly with the group.

• Layering Options: Change the position of any element by moving it to the front or back of your diagram.

• Auto Alignment: Benefit from intuitive blue-line guides that help align elements automatically.

• Icon Search: Quickly find specific AWS icons using our built-in search functionality.

• Drag & Drop: Effortlessly add elements from your synced data to your diagram by dragging and dropping them into place.

Harness the full potential of your cloud architecture diagramming tool to design stunning AWS diagrams with ease.

Accessing the Diagram Templates Library

To begin, click the Diagram Templates button located in the main toolbar. This action opens a popup displaying a variety of AWS diagram templates and examples. The library is designed to simplify your diagramming process by offering pre-built layouts that cover a wide range of AWS services and design patterns.

Searching and Selecting a Template

You can easily find the template that fits your needs by using keyword searches. For example, try keywords like “VPC”, “API Gateway”, “EKS”, “subnet”, or “peering” to locate the specific diagram template you require. Once you find a suitable template, simply click on it, and a new diagram pre-populated with that template will be created.

Benefits of Using Diagram Templates

• Quick Start: Leverage pre-built templates to reduce the time required to set up your AWS diagrams.
• Standardization: Ensure that your diagrams follow AWS best practices and industry-standard design patterns.
• Ease of Use: Focus on refining your architecture instead of building diagrams from scratch.

Continuous Library Updates

We are committed to regularly enhancing our Diagram Templates Library with new AWS diagram examples. If you notice that a template you need is missing or if you have suggestions for additional templates, please contact us.
