With a free account you can open any of your documents, create new documents, or even share content from your iPhone, iPad, and every other browser, OS, and device. With this intuitive, cloud-based solution, everyone can work visually and collaborate in real-time. Lucidchart is a visual workspace that combines diagramming, data visualization, and collaboration to accelerate understanding and drive innovation. Create visuals that will not only simplify the complex but also make a lasting statement.Lucidchart is the easiest way to build and view diagrams on your iPad or iPhone. So whether you’re making the transition to the cloud with a hybrid infrastructure, meeting PCI compliance, or onboarding your new employee, make it easier with Lucidchart’s AWS import.
LUCIDCHART DIAGRAMS UPDATE
And any time infrastructure changes, you can simply update the existing diagram rather than starting from scratch.
LUCIDCHART DIAGRAMS PROFESSIONAL
Lucidchart’s AWS import lets you plot out your AWS environment in minutes, leaving you with a polished and professional visual that includes all network components within the scope of PCI and their appropriate connections. But it’s no secret that doing so can be expensive and time-consuming. So it’s not surprising that most security standards require companies to provide up-to-date diagrams of their networks to prevent data breaches and protect user information. In 2016, 1.4 million data records were compromised worldwide due to data breaches. When you import your AWS architecture in Lucidchart, you can easily create these visuals and share them throughout the organization. However, when you provide a polished visual, new team members can gain understanding quickly as they clearly identify all the different network devices and connections within your AWS environment. When onboarding new employees, offering a verbal explanation of your network or attempting to draw it out on the spot can result in more confusion than clarity. As your company grows, you can see your existing network and plan for more oncoming traffic easily. From initially building your infrastructure to troubleshooting, Lucidchart will show you the logical view so you can keep your network functioning smoothly and serve your users as best you can. Whether you need to demonstrate PCI compliance like we did or plan network usage for your growing company, Lucidchart does the work for you.ĪWS provides a physical view of your network-it gives you a list of devices or instances, but it doesn’t show you how those devices interact. When you map out your AWS infrastructure in Lucidchart, it only takes two minutes to leave an impression. So naturally, when Torgy needed to complete another extremely technical, time-consuming diagram, this time to show the AWS Partnership Program, he tried it out.Īmazon’s response in a nutshell? “This is one of the most detailed diagrams we have ever received.”
They took the AWS import further and developed an auto-layout feature that would automatically turn AWS infrastructure into organized, professional diagrams for each Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and its contents. The result? Lucidchart’s AWS architecture import.īy importing our own AWS architecture into Lucidchart, Torgy’s two-day nightmare became a simple two-minute task and saved us thousands per year in assessments and compliance.īut the Lucid team didn’t stop there. Having personally felt the pain of compliance, several of our engineers talked to Torgy to determine what sort of tool would make his life easier. The only alternative to this ordeal was to work by memory, but that risked serious human error.
Torgy eventually spent over 12 hours digging through AWS trying to locate pieces of the infrastructure within AWS, such as instances and load balancers, and determine how they all fit together to piece together a diagram from scratch. He also knew that all of the information he pulled would be out of date almost immediately. The task would require his undivided attention for two whole days. Last October, Lucidchart staff engineer David “Torgy” Torgerson needed to produce a diagram to demonstrate PCI compliance, and he was dreading it. If you’ve shed tears and gained a few grey hairs trying to map out your network and systems infrastructure, we feel your pain.
