What is CloudToolStack?

CloudToolStack is a free platform with 576 interactive cloud engineering tools and 201 in-depth learning guides. It covers AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud (OCI), and multi-cloud environments. Every tool runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up required, no data sent to any server.

Is CloudToolStack really free?

Yes. All tools and learning guides are completely free with no registration required. We support the site through non-intrusive advertising. There are no paywalls, premium tiers, or hidden charges.

Do I need to create an account to use the tools?

No. Every tool is available immediately without creating an account, providing an email address, or signing in. Just navigate to any tool and start using it.

Who builds and maintains CloudToolStack?

CloudToolStack is built by Jeff Monfield, a cloud architect and security engineer with over 15 years of experience across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud. The tools and guides are based on real-world production patterns, not just documentation rewrites.

Is my data safe when using these tools?

Absolutely. Every tool runs 100% in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data — IAM policies, ARNs, CIDR blocks, configurations — never leaves your device. We have no servers that process, store, or transmit your input. This is a deliberate architectural choice to protect sensitive infrastructure data.

Do you store any of my configurations or inputs?

No. We do not store, log, or transmit any data you enter into our tools. The only data stored locally in your browser is your theme preference (light/dark), cookie consent choice, and recently visited tools — all using localStorage, which never leaves your device.

What cookies does CloudToolStack use?

We use essential localStorage entries for theme and consent preferences, and optional advertising cookies from Google AdSense when you consent. Full details are in our Cookie Policy. You can reject non-essential cookies at any time using the consent banner.

How many tools does CloudToolStack have?

We currently have 576 tools covering AWS (130), Azure (128), GCP (118), OCI (70), and multi-cloud comparisons (70). Tools span IAM & security, networking, compute, storage, serverless, and monitoring categories.

Are the tool outputs production-ready?

Our tools generate syntactically valid configurations based on current cloud provider specifications. However, you should always review generated configurations against your organization's security policies and test in a non-production environment before deploying to production.

Do the tools connect to my cloud account?

No. None of our tools connect to any cloud account, API, or external service. They generate configuration JSON, YAML, or CLI commands that you copy and paste into your own infrastructure-as-code templates, cloud console, or CLI.

How often are the tools updated?

We regularly update tools when cloud providers release new services, change pricing, or modify API specifications. Each tool and guide displays its last-updated date so you know how current the information is.

How many learning guides are available?

We have 201 learning guides covering topics from getting started tutorials to advanced architecture patterns. Guides span AWS (35), Azure (35), GCP (35), OCI (35), and multi-cloud comparisons (30).

Are the guides suitable for beginners?

Yes. Each guide indicates its difficulty level — beginner, intermediate, or advanced. We have dedicated "Getting Started" guides for each cloud provider that walk you through account setup, first deployments, and core concepts from scratch.

Do the guides include real code examples?

Yes. All guides include real CLI commands, Terraform configurations, CloudFormation/ARM/Bicep templates, and SDK code examples. Code snippets are written from scratch and tested — not copied from official documentation.

Which cloud providers does CloudToolStack support?

We support five cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and multi-cloud comparisons that evaluate services across all four providers side by side.

Is CloudToolStack affiliated with AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle?

No. CloudToolStack is an independent project not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon, Microsoft, Google, or Oracle. All cloud provider names and service names are trademarks of their respective owners.

Why did you add Oracle Cloud (OCI)?

Oracle Cloud has emerged as a serious contender for enterprise workloads, offering competitive pricing, the Autonomous Database, Ampere ARM compute, and a strong networking stack with FastConnect and Azure interconnect. Many cloud practitioners now work with OCI alongside the other major providers, so we added comprehensive OCI coverage.
