AWS Architecture icons vs AWS Simple icons

Question

For creating AWS Architecture diagrams, we find that AWS has provided a new icons set - https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/

Formerly we used to use AWS Simple icons as defined on, https://iconduck.com/sets/aws-simple-icons-for-architecture-diagrams

Is it ok to continue using simple icons or should we use only the new icon set?
What are the reasons for moving away from AWS Simple icons?

Accepted Answer

Hi Radhika.

It is perfectly fine to continue using simple icons. Just note that this set is not maintained by AWS. It is an open source set designed by [Balázs Buri](https://iconduck.com/designers/balazs-buri). On the other hand, the official [AWS Architecture Icons](https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/) are maintained by AWS so whenever there are new services or updates to the icons, they are periodically updated.

Feel free to use either one or even both!

I hope this helps.
