Guides & how-tos
Practical, no-fluff guides for building and running real cloud infrastructure on a canvas — AWS first.
Every AWS connection Korve can wire, and exactly what each one creates
A complete reference for all 15 wiring templates — the IAM roles, security group rules, event source mappings and alias records Korve creates when you draw a line between two services, plus how each is verified and undone.
EC2 instance types decoded — how to read the name and pick the right one
What m7g.xlarge actually tells you, what each instance family is for, when burstable T instances save money and when they quietly throttle you, and the pricing models worth knowing before you launch anything.
IAM roles, policies, users and instance profiles — the mental model
Why AWS needs four different objects to answer one question, what each is actually for, and how to tell which one you need. With the trust-policy rule that explains most access-denied errors.
Infrastructure drift — what it is, why it always happens, and how to catch it
Drift is the gap between what you think you deployed and what is actually running. Why every environment drifts, why Terraform state makes it worse, and how continuous verification against the live account works instead.
VPC, subnets, route tables and security groups — how AWS networking fits together
The five objects that decide whether your traffic arrives: VPCs, subnets, route tables, internet and NAT gateways, and security groups. What each does, and the specific reasons a connection hangs instead of failing.
Connect your AWS account to Korve in 2 minutes
A step-by-step guide to connecting AWS to Korve using an IAM user access key — securely, without pasting your root credentials anywhere.
How to create an S3 bucket without touching the AWS console
Drag an S3 node onto a canvas, set a few fields, and provision a real bucket in your AWS account — a visual walkthrough of creating S3 buckets with Korve.
Wiring EC2 to S3 — what IAM Korve actually creates
When you draw a connection from an EC2 instance to an S3 bucket, real IAM roles and policies get created. Here's exactly what, and why it's safer than doing it by hand.
How to see AWS cost per resource, not just per service
AWS Cost Explorer groups spend by service. Here's how to attribute cost to individual resources — this bucket, that instance — so you know what's actually expensive.
A visual alternative to Terraform for AWS
Terraform is powerful and text-based. If you'd rather see your infrastructure as a diagram that deploys for real, here's how a canvas-based approach compares.
A least-privilege IAM policy for connecting a tool to AWS
Instead of attaching AdministratorAccess, scope the IAM user to exactly the actions a tool uses. Here's how to think about a least-privilege policy for Korve.
Your first real AWS deploy and teardown with Korve
Go from an empty canvas to running AWS infrastructure and back to nothing — a safe, five-minute first deploy using dry runs so you never create something by surprise.
Let AI design your AWS architecture from a plain-English prompt
Describe the app you want in plain language and have an AI copilot lay out the AWS resources, configure them, and wire them together on a canvas you can review before deploying.
Build this on a canvas instead of the console.
