SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes Azure resource groups to visualize their architecture by generating Mermaid diagrams that illustrate resource relationships, dependencies, and topology.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource Group Discovery: List all resource groups and their regions when not specified
  • Deep Resource Analysis: Inspect resources, configurations, SKUs, locations, and connections
  • Relationship Mapping: Identify network, data, and identity dependencies between resources
  • Diagram Generation: Produce detailed Mermaid diagrams with labeled connections and grouped layers
  • Documentation Creation: Export markdown reports including diagrams for architecture reviews

Quick Start

Use the skill to visualize an Azure resource group by providing its name, for example: azure-resource-visualizer --rg my-rg

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an architecture diagram for an Azure resource group?

To generate an Azure resource group architecture diagram, you provide the resource group name to the visualizer, which discovers resources and outputs a Mermaid diagram mapping networks, compute, storage, and security components.

Can I visualize Azure resource relationships and dependencies automatically?

Yes, you can visualize Azure resource relationships automatically by analyzing the resource group to identify network, data, and identity dependencies, which are then mapped and labeled in the generated Mermaid diagram output.

Does the Azure resource visualizer require access permissions to discover resources?

Yes, the Azure resource visualizer requires access to your Azure resources for discovery to inspect configurations, SKUs, locations, and connections, enabling it to map deep resource relationships and dependencies accurately.

How do I list all Azure resource groups and their regions for visualization?

When a specific resource group is not provided, the visualizer can list all Azure resource groups and their regions, allowing you to select a target scope to generate a detailed Mermaid architecture diagram.

Can I export Azure architecture diagrams into markdown reports for reviews?

Yes, you can export Azure architecture diagrams into markdown reports that include the generated Mermaid diagrams, providing comprehensive documentation for architecture reviews and resource topology analysis.

What is the best way to map Azure network and security components into a diagram?

The best way to map Azure network and security components is using a visualizer that generates Mermaid diagrams with grouped layers and labeled connections, illustrating the full topology and dependencies of your resources.
