At Miro, we are accelerating how teams complete crucial cloud transformation projects by enabling seamless collaboration, integrating disparate tools, and minimizing manual tasks. We’re committed to the cloud community and we’re working closely with our partner, AWS, to develop solutions that help teams visualize and optimize cloud infrastructure, align cross functional teams, and execute cloud transformations.
Effective cloud management is the key to a reliable, secure, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure, which requires extensive cross-functional collaboration and alignment to determine the best approach. Currently, this process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, as it relies on multiple siloed tools that lack visual and collaborative functionalities. This results in slow project progress and an increased risk of misalignment or human error. This is where Miro comes in.
Miro is the innovation workspace that empowers cloud professionals to visualize, optimize, align, and execute cloud transformation initiatives, all in one place. Miro streamlines every aspect of your transformation journey—from project planning and visualizing existing infrastructures to collaborating on future state architecture and optimizing costs—all in one unified platform.
Collaborate on architecture diagrams: Miro enables visualization of complex architectures through collaborative diagramming, seamlessly aligned to AWS best practices, ensuring efficient delivery of architecture that is scalable and cost-optimized. Miro allows you to quickly design architecture with AWS icons and templates while ensuring that the environment is collaborative and inclusive of stakeholders input.
AWS data import [beta]
Miro’s new AWS data import [beta] tool allows teams to visualize their AWS services in Miro using a simple JSON file import. This tool accelerates the visualization process, saving time, errors, and effort to align on current state and enable teams to quickly collaborate on opportunities to optimize moving forward You can learn more about the AWS data import [beta] here and provide feedback on this experience.
Optimize costs and analyze risks: Miro has built-in tools for cloud cost calculation, designed in collaboration with AWS, ensuring that teams can evaluate impact and plan cloud spend, while making architecture adjustments to achieve optimal outcomes. Costs can be analyzed in real-time on the canvas alongside the diagrams, ensuring that architects can make quick decisions and ensure that the architecture is secure, scalable, and optimized.
“The new capabilities in Miro, announced with Intelligent Canvas and WidgetSDK, will allow developers to deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions. An example is Miro’s AWS Cost Calculator app developed by Miro with support from the AWS Prototyping team. It exemplifies our simultaneous commitment to provide seamless, value-driven experiences that empower our customers to plan efficiently and optimize costs with ease.”
Peter Hands, Director, Professional Services Business Development at AWS
Align stakeholders around the strategy: Miro serves as a central hub for projects from start to finish; a space to aggregate past and present architectures, analyze business context, run effective discussions, and facilitate unbiased decision making. Miro makes it easy for cross-functional teams to collaborate on cloud strategy without technical expertise.
Execute and track progress on tasks: Teams can go from cloud planning to execution with built-in agile planning, roadmapping and tracking tools, saving hours of manual prep work. Turn ideas into actions with built-in integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps and Github, making it easier to facilitate planning and driving innovation forward.
AWS diagramming templates
We’re thrilled to also offer a variety of new ready-made AWS solution templates designed to streamline your diagramming process. Aligned with AWS frameworks, these templates are ideal for planning cloud migrations or optimizing existing services. They empower you to create detailed visual representations of your AWS infrastructure directly on a collaborative Miro board, enhancing planning, communication, and decision-making.
Take a look at some of these new templates:
