About the AWS Cloud Infrastructure Optimization template
Managing a complex AWS environment can feel like navigating a maze in the dark. It’s hard to see the full picture, even harder to spot where you’re wasting money, and nearly impossible to get everyone aligned on the path forward. The AWS Cloud Infrastructure Optimization template brings your entire architecture into the light, providing a visual workspace for your team to collaboratively analyze, improve, and plan. It turns abstract infrastructure into a concrete, shared diagram that everyone can understand and act on.
How to use the AWS Cloud Infrastructure Optimization template
Visualize your current architecture. Start by importing your existing AWS infrastructure directly into Miro using the AWS Cloud View import tool. This creates an up-to-date diagram of your current setup, giving your team a single source of truth to work from.
Analyze for improvements. Use the integrated AI tools, like the AWS Well Architected Sidekick, to run an analysis based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The AI will suggest specific problems and opportunities related to cost, security, performance, and reliability.
Design your target architecture. Based on the AI-driven insights, collaborate with your team on the canvas to design an improved target architecture. Drag and drop services, model changes, and see the impact in real time.
Optimize your costs. Once you have a target architecture, use the AWS Cost Calculator to understand the financial impact of your proposed changes. This allows you to make data-backed decisions that balance performance with budget.
Document and share your plan. With your optimized architecture finalized, use the built-in documentation features to capture your plan, decisions, and next steps, ensuring stakeholders are fully aligned.
Why use the AWS Cloud Infrastructure Optimization template?
Make clear, data-driven decisions. Stop guessing where improvements can be made. Use AI-powered analysis to get concrete, actionable recommendations based on AWS best practices.
Build team alignment on complex systems. A visual canvas makes it easy for engineers, product managers, and finance stakeholders to see the same picture and contribute to the plan.
Proactively reduce your cloud spend. Identify and eliminate unnecessary costs by visualizing your resource usage and modeling more efficient architectural patterns.
Design a more resilient and performant architecture. Apply the principles of the AWS Well-Architected Framework to build systems that are secure, reliable, and operationally excellent.
