When you are building complex applications with lots of moving parts and hosting them in the cloud, it can be easy to loose sight of exactly what is happening. Explaining how the latest micro service integrates with the existing infrastructure to the rest of the team or how the whole thing hangs together when onboarding new engineers can be difficult and time consuming.

Cloud network security diagrams are a visual representation of an organization's cloud infrastructure that provides an overview of the security and data protection measures in place. In today's digital age, where cloud computing has become the norm for many organizations, it is crucial to have a secure and protected cloud environment.

If you are responsible for cloud infrastructure there is every chance the importance of containing or reducing cloud costs this year will become a focus of your organisation.

A CTO needs a clear line of sight to the networks and network resources they are responsible for, especially if they that infrastructure is cloud based.

Who is creating your cloud infrastructure diagrams in 2024?

It is important 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 to create diagrams that illustrate the various components and how they fit together. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of automating the creation of your cloud computing diagrams.

When you connect a cloud account to Hava, you will end up with a set of diagrams for every VPC or virtual network discovered.

When you are managing multiple cloud based networks the chances are there are multiple cloud accounts to look after and these may well be from different vendors.

Modern GitOps practices are based around the use of automations to deploy and manage cloud environments. One of the major players in this space is HashiCorp who's Terraform application is used by developers, DevOps and engineers around the world to deploy cloud infrastructure using code.

Did you know your Hava account supports MFA. Are you using it?  MFA provides an optional layer of account log in security, but you probably already know that. In addition to your user name and password, you will be required to enter a one time code generated by a supported TOTP authentication application like Google Authenticator or Authy.
