Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about CloudNOOE.
General
Q: What is CloudNOOE?
A: CloudNOOE is an AI-powered platform that simplifies the design, optimization, and deployment of AWS cloud infrastructure. It combines a natural language AI assistant, a visual drag-and-drop editor, real-time cost estimation, and one-click deployment to make cloud management faster, easier, and more cost-effective.
Q: Who should use CloudNOOE?
A: CloudNOOE is for everyone involved in the cloud journey—from developers and DevOps engineers who build and manage infrastructure, to architects who design it, to managers and executives who need visibility into cloud spend and strategy. It's powerful enough for experts and simple enough for beginners.
Security
Q: Is CloudNOOE secure? How do you handle my AWS credentials?
A: Security is our top priority. Your AWS credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) are encrypted both in transit and at rest. They are stored securely and are only used to perform the actions you initiate, such as deploying or updating your infrastructure via the AWS API. We follow the principle of least privilege and never store more information than is necessary.
Q: Does CloudNOOE see the data in my applications?
A: No. CloudNOOE is a platform for managing infrastructure, not data. It interacts with the AWS control plane to provision and configure resources (like EC2 instances and S3 buckets), but it does not have access to the data you store or process within those resources.
Functionality
Q: Which AWS services are supported?
A: CloudNOOE supports a wide range of core AWS services, including EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, API Gateway, IAM, and more. We are continuously expanding our library of supported services.
Q: Can I use CloudNOOE with my existing infrastructure?
A: Currently, CloudNOOE is focused on designing and deploying new infrastructure. The ability to import and manage existing infrastructure is a high-priority item on our roadmap. However, you can export CloudFormation from CloudNOOE to integrate with your existing Infrastructure as Code.
Q: What happens if I'm an expert and the AI or visual editor doesn't support a specific, advanced configuration?
A: Our goal is to cover 99% of use cases. For highly specific or niche configurations, you can export the CloudFormation template generated by CloudNOOE and manually add your advanced settings before deploying it through the AWS Console or CLI. This gives you the best of both worlds: the speed of CloudNOOE for the core architecture and the flexibility of code for the final touches.
Pricing and Billing
Q: How does CloudNOOE's pricing work?
A: CloudNOOE offers a variety of pricing tiers, including a free tier for individuals and small projects. Our paid tiers are based on the number of users and the scale of infrastructure being managed. For detailed information, please visit our pricing page.
Q: Does CloudNOOE charge me for the AWS resources I deploy?
A: No. Your CloudNOOE subscription fee is separate from your AWS bill. All infrastructure you deploy through CloudNOOE is provisioned directly in your own AWS account. You are responsible for all charges from AWS for the resources you consume. CloudNOOE's Real-Time Cost Estimator helps you predict and manage this spend.
Technical
Q: What Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool does CloudNOOE use?
A: CloudNOOE generates CloudFormation templates. CloudFormation is AWS's native IaC service, ensuring maximum compatibility and reliability. We are exploring support for other formats like Terraform in the future.
Q: Can I get my infrastructure design "out" of CloudNOOE?
A: Yes. We believe in avoiding vendor lock-in. You can export the CloudFormation template for any architecture you design in CloudNOOE at any time. This allows you to take your code and use it in your own CI/CD pipelines or deploy it manually.
