Select a specialized cloud track below to explore step-by-step interactive visual modules.
Cloud Foundations
Master the core network isolation, compute, and security structures of AWS.
Identity & Access Management
Secure credentials, user console login, and least-privilege role delegation.
Virtual Private Cloud
Configure isolated virtual networks with private/public subnets, routing tables, and internet gates.
Elastic Compute Cloud
Provision virtual server instances, setup stateful security group firewalls, and route backend traffic.
Simple Storage Service
Durable object storage buckets, role-based access, and resource-level bucket policies.
Content Delivery Network
Global edge cache latency optimization, HTTPS acceleration, and origin shield routing.
Resilient Data & Scaling
Build highly-available relational schemas, high-throughput caches, NoSQL tables, and zero-trust security boundaries.
Managed Databases & Failover
Configure database subnet groups and Multi-AZ synchronous standby replication failovers.
Caching & NoSQL Databases
Implement ElastiCache Redis cache-aside caching and DynamoDB serverless transactional scaling.
Secrets Manager & VPC PrivateLink
Enforce zero-trust boundaries with rotated Secrets Manager keys and private VPC endpoint paths.
Enterprise Microservices
Decompose monoliths using container tasks, event-driven compute, and serverless message queues.
Container Orchestration & ALBs
Serverless docker task orchestration behind Application Load Balancers.
Serverless Functions
Event-driven compute APIs, custom authorizers, and VPC subnet attachment routing.
Asynchronous Pub/Sub decoupling
Decouple pipelines with SQS buffer queues and SNS broadcasting event topics.
Global Scale & Edge Security
Architect disaster-tolerant systems with active-active global routing, edge filters, and multi-region synchronization.
DNS & Traffic Routing
Configure active-passive failovers, latency-based routing, and DNS Alias records.
Edge Security & DDoS Protection
Secure endpoints with custom WAF Web ACL rules and Shield DDoS defenses.
Aurora & DynamoDB Global
Deploy low-latency Aurora Global DB replicas and serverless DynamoDB Global Tables.
Identity & Key Encryption
Manage serverless user directory authentication and enforce cryptographic data envelope encryption.
Event-Driven Workflows
Orchestrate multi-step serverless state machine tasks and publish custom event bus routing rules.
AI/ML Infrastructure
Deploy high-performance GPU training clusters, parallel SSD filesystems, and model inference pipelines.
EKS GPU Nodes & FSx for Lustre
Orchestrate p4d A100 GPU compute nodes and POSIX-mount parallel FSx for Lustre storage caches.
MLOps Pipelines & Endpoints
Build model training workflows with SageMaker Pipelines and deploy real-time ML endpoints.
Connected Architecture Sandbox
Unlike static slide sheets or separate diagrams, Waypoint preserves the architecture continuum. As you hit continue, the canvas shifts, routes traffic, and expands upon your existing infrastructure.
Stateful Topology
Nodes remember their relations. Drag and rotate panels freely while the canvas retains alignment, giving you complete visibility of the system.
Live Configuration
Select any resource node to inspect its live ports, security rule arrays, NAT translation logs, and IAM credential details.
Flow Simulation
Watch animated request packages traverse subnets, hit routing tables, cross Internet Gateways, and query database nodes in real-time.
