Overview

The Infrastructure overlay provides a broad overview of your cloud environment by grouping resources into Account, Region, and VPC. This is the default view when opening a Cloudcraft diagram.

Use cases

The Infrastructure overlay is ideal for:

• Generating architecture diagrams for documentation or presentations
• Troubleshooting connectivity and resource relationships
• Conducting high-level architecture reviews
• Onboarding team members to your cloud environment

Resource grouping

Resources are organized in a hierarchical structure. The grouping labels vary by provider:

This hierarchy helps you understand how resources are distributed across your cloud infrastructure.

Interact with resources

Click any resource to open a side panel with additional details, including:

• Resource type and name
• Associated tags
• Links to related Datadog views

Excluded components

To reduce visual clutter and highlight the most important parts of your architecture, the Infrastructure overlay excludes certain components by default:

AWS

• EBS volumes
• NAT Gateways
• Transit Gateways

GCP

• Compute Disk
• GKE Cronjob
• GKE Daemonset
• GKE Deployment
• GKE Job
• GKE Pod
• GKE Statefulset

These components are still part of your infrastructure but are hidden to keep the diagram focused on core resources.
