Absolutely! You are empowered to modify or replace any AWS component configuration or architecture created by CloudKitect. Should the existing CloudKitect patterns not fully meet your specific requirements, you have the option to utilize CloudKitect components to design a solution tailored to your needs. This approach allows you to maintain the advantages of built-in security, monitoring, and compliance features.

AWS CDK is beneficial for offering essential components for programmatically constructing AWS infrastructure. However, the responsibility of configuring these components falls on the developers. To develop infrastructure that meets enterprise standards, developers need a deep understanding of AWS services, alongside the know-how to configure and test them effectively. This process can be time-consuming, diverting attention away from the development of business logic. CloudKitect addresses this by performing the duties of a Cloud Architect, not only assembling these components but also configuring them for scenarios ready for application deployment.

The primary objective of DevOps teams is to concentrate on automation and consistent deployments, utilizing tools specifically tailored for these tasks. CloudKitect, on the other hand, aims to empower developers by effectively transforming the services offered by both DevOps and cloud architects into a product. This approach encompasses the entire range of designing and automating infrastructures, thereby allowing developers to dedicate their efforts to creating applications that set the business apart. CloudKitect is accessible in several programming languages that developers are already accustomed to, eliminating the need for a learning curve.

When you subscribe to CloudKitect, you gain access to the complete range of components and patterns offered by the platform. Our team undertakes the rigorous task of maintaining these components, along with introducing new functionalities, security enhancements, and other updates. Your role simply involves updating to the latest version to avail of all the newly added features. It’s like having a cloud architect working for you around the clock.

CloudKitect is developed to adhere to the highest industry standards and best practices. The infrastructure it helps create is established within your personal AWS account, providing you with full control and ownership of your data. While CloudKitect facilitates the smooth operation of your infrastructure with our products, the ownership of the infrastructure remains entirely with you. Our role is to ensure that it operates seamlessly, but the infrastructure stack is under your ownership.

If CloudKitect were to cease operations, the impact on your infrastructure would be minimal in terms of ownership and access. This is because the infrastructure is established in your AWS account, ensuring that you maintain full ownership and control regardless of CloudKitect’s status.
In the absence of CloudKitect, the responsibility for managing, maintaining, and updating your infrastructure would shift entirely to you or your designated team. This includes the application of updates, patches, and security measures which CloudKitect may have handled in the past. However, you would still have access to the CloudKitect library, which you can continue to use and develop according to your needs.
