Some feedback: "In the delta of your current understanding and the reality of the cloud, lies cost savings and insight." This sentence was a little confusing. Maybe: Cloudcraft make it easy and clear where your could is and where it could go. Something a little simpler and more direct.

Thank you, as a non-native English speaker this is extremely valuable feedback. I'll rework the text. One idea is that could literally run a infrastructure diff of your architecture and your live environment, for example after a deployment or between two points in time: You may have resources left over by accident, or not captured in the design.

  I like the delta sentence. It is artful. The only reason the intent is unclear is a lack of context. I didn't see anything else on the page that references difs or deltas. I am looking forward to trying cloudcraft on Monday when I have to document a cluster of ec2 instances.

    I agree, I love the original construction. It's extremely compelling, big-league copy. How about just tuning slightly simpler: "Somewhere in the difference between your current understanding and the reality of the cloud, lies cost savings and insight."

  I must echo the other reply: the "delta" phrase communicates far more than the "simpler" rewording does, to the point where the simplified text reads as little more than meaningless marketing fluff. Perhaps it would be clearer to word it as "Between your current understanding ..." instead of "In the delta of your current understanding ..." But keep the rest the same; it's a beautiful sentence.

  "`diff` for your AWS infrastructure" might work.

Or if we want to be picky: Cloudcraft allow you to dump your own understanding into a diagram, which may or may not be correct. I was hoping from the article wording of a tool using some form of read only grant to amazon to draw the diagram for you, but this is just seems one step above dia.
