How to Build Optimized Cloud Infrastructure in Minutes!

Let's say you have a project and want to host it somewhere, but you don't have deep DevOps knowledge to build optimized cloud infrastructure, or you don't have the resources and time to do that. In the beginning, many people opted for Heroku, DigitalOcean, and Vercel over AWS, Azure, and CGP because of their simplicity and ease of use, and that's fine! But when the company grows, it will need to switch to cloud providers to ensure scalability, advanced services, cost efficiency, security, flexibility, ecosystem support, and disaster recovery.

So, how do you build a cloud infrastructure in minutes?

The free tool called ArchFormation(https://archformation.com/) can do it for you! It transforms your infrastructure diagram into Terraform code, which will be stored in your Git repository. This means you are not locked into the tool and can continue working on your infrastructure without it. If you are unfamiliar with Terraform code, it is infrastructure-as-code (IaC) used to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure efficiently. Simply saying, your instructions in the Terraform code will be implemented into your AWS.

ArchFormation saves you time and costs by helping you to get cloud infrastructure ready in minutes, including DevOps best practices and security standards, without sacrificing quality or reliability.

For example, ArchFormation enables you to provision a fully managed Kubernetes cluster in AWS with Observability in just 10 minutes, a task that typically demands a 3-month effort from a Lead DevOps Engineer with an average monthly salary of $15,000 in the US.

Among other things, you can select predefined templates, change properties of cloud components per environment, and get regular upgrades and security patch fixes to your infrastructure, ensuring it stays current, resilient, and aligned with the latest trends.

For example, ArchFormation streamlines Terraform upgrades, a continuous process that for one iteration depending on the infrastructure complexity could take up to one month of development effort from a Senior DevOps Engineer with an average monthly salary of $12,000 in the US.
