Amazon Aurora is an AWS RDS database service that brings together enterprise performance and scalability at pricing that’s more associated with harder to scale open source solutions.

If you are developing on AWS or any other platform for that matter, you will understand the need for good version control. Git repositories have for a long time been an effective method of controlling software versions, enabling multiple developers to work on the same code base without overwriting each other’s code and providing the opportunity to roll back code in the event of a release introducing unforeseen behaviours, or bugs as they are more commonly referred to.

AWS Lambda is a service that allows you to run code and containers without the need to set up, manage or provision servers. Lambda runs your code on highly available compute cloud infrastructure via Functions.  Lambda takes care of server and OS maintenance, scaling, code monitoring and activity/error logging.

Producing Google Cloud Platform Architecture Diagrams is an important part of well managed and easily communicated GCP network infrastructure.

When you are working with any cloud computing virtual infrastructure, there are many benefits to creating and maintaining accurate Azure Architecture diagram sets.

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

When you are monitoring your AWS infrastructure for security alerts, not all security signals can be remediated automatically. Large or complex environments can generate multiple security flags (repeatedly) that need to be manually investigated in detail.  This requires access to sometimes complex metadata to thoroughly investigate which may place a strain on your in-house security skills or may even require you to find the budget for a dedicated security expert.

Generating and maintaining accurate GCP Diagrams is essential for well managed and easily communicated GCP network infrastructure.

If you have worked with Microsoft Azure for any length of time, you no doubt appreciate the value and necessity of great network topology diagrams. Diagrams provide a visual cue for better communication and understanding of your cloud infrastructure at all levels of your organisation, from management down to freshly onboarded engineers and consultants.

Along side the hundreds of AWS resources we recently detailed in this AWS Services List, Amazon also provides a stack of developer and DevOps tools to help you build, deploy, manage and monitor applications on the AWS cloud.

This is a list of a few of our favourite AWS Developer Tools.
