Cloud Architect Design Tools (CADT)
CADT lets you design cloud architectures through a web-based graphical interface, eliminating the need to write infrastructure code. It handles the visual mapping of resources and configurations directly within Alibaba Cloud’s ecosystem, streamlining the planning phase for complex deployments.
This tool suits teams that prefer visual modeling over scripting but requires careful budgeting since it operates strictly on a pay-as-you-go model. There is no free tier available, so every architectural draft or deployment attempt incurs immediate costs, making it less ideal for experimental or low-budget prototyping phases.
