AWS Diagrams Adobe Illustrator Object Collection: First Release
Due to popular demand I've decided to release the collection of vector graphics objects I use to draw Amazon Web Services architecture diagrams. This is the first release and more are on the way. This is an Adobe Illustrator CS5 (.AI) file. I've obtained this artwork from the original AWS Architecture PDF files published at the AWS Architecture Center.
You can use Adobe Illustrator to open this file and to create your diagrams or you can export these objects to SVG format and use GNU software to work with them. The file has been saved in "PDF Compatibility Mode" so plenty of utilities can import it without the need of using Adobe Illustrator (With Inkscape for instance).

- Those designs have been created by a brilliant and extraordinary person that works in AWS. I'm just a channel of communication here. All credits should go to him.

AWS Diagrams
Update! Now you can download my first collection of AWS Diagrams Objects to use them on your own diagrams. Check this out!
Some months ago I've discovered the AWS diagrams design at the Architecture Center and I immediately felt in love with them. Those graphics were so... fresh, clear, logical and nice. So distant from my traditional work with LanFlow and Microsoft Visio. I've printed one of them, pinned it next to my desk and said out loud: "One day all my architecture designs will look like that".
I thought they were created using a Network Diagram tool. Some tool that was unknown for me so I'd spend some time searching for that tool. After a while I realized that there was no edition tool, no plug-in or on-line drawing service for that. They were created drawing. Old school method. And my suspicions were confirmed after realizing that the PDF files were created using Adobe Illustrator.
And here I go. After 20 years since the last time I used this program I decided to learn again how to draw vector graphics. With the original AWS Architecture examples in one hand and some patience in the other I've started to use this drawing style for my projects related to Amazon Web Services.
Here I show you some examples of my work. I hope you enjoy them. Has been refreshing for me to spend some time "drawing" instead of dealing with computers and costumers for a change :)
I've read a couple of times the original drawings without noticing and copyright limit. And there goes my question: Do you know if I'm allowed to use this drawing style for my work related with AWS without falling into any copyright issues?
