Infrastructure Design Tools

This concerns the structured application of recognized methodologies and tools to develop cloud infrastructure designs. Examples include Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates, cloud architecture diagrams, capacity planning tools, and cost estimation calculators. Such tools help you define and communicate all aspects of cloud infrastructure, security, and resource requirements within the team.

Starting Point

• IaC code templates

Key Points

• You clearly document the infrastructure design so that the architecture, components, and connections are clear to all stakeholders.
• You visualize the design using appropriate diagramming tools and notation standards.
• You work iteratively on infrastructure designs to accommodate changing requirements.
• You validate your designs through reviews, testing, and proof-of-concepts.
• You incorporate findings into the infrastructure design documentation.
