v2.2
May

cluster
Check to make sure you have the most
recent set of AWS Simple Icons
Try to use direct lines (rather than ‘criss-cross’),
use adequate whitespace, and remember to label
all icons.
This version was last updated 4/8/2014 (v2.2)
Find the most recent set at:
aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/
Always use icon labels
Product icons
Be sure to always include a label below the icon
or on the group in Arial. The only exception is in
complex diagrams; you have the option to
create a key.
The first icon in most service sets is a product icon.
This should be used to represent the service on a
more general level when you will not be going into
as much depth.

server
Creating diagrams
