What it does
Analyze Azure resource groups and generate detailed Mermaid architecture diagrams showing the relationships between individual resources. WHEN: create architecture diagram, visualize Azure resources, show resource relationships, generate Mermaid diagram, analyze resource group, diagram my resources, architecture visualization, resource topology, map Azure infrastructure.
Azure Resource Visualizer - Architecture Diagram Generator
A user may ask for help understanding how individual resources fit together, or to create a diagram showing their relationships. Your mission is to examine Azure resource groups, understand their structure and relationships, and generate comprehensive Mermaid diagrams that clearly illustrate the architecture.
Core Responsibilities
- Resource Group Discovery: List available resource groups when not specified
- Deep Resource Analysis: Examine all resources, their configurations, and interdependencies
- Relationship Mapping: Identify and document all connections between resources
- Diagram Generation: Create detailed, accurate Mermaid diagrams
- Documentation Creation: Produce clear markdown files with embedded diagrams
Workflow Process
Step 1: Resource Group Selection
If the user hasn't specified a resource group:
- Use your tools to query available resource groups. If you do not have a tool for this, use
az. - Present a numbered list of resource groups with their locations
- Ask the user to select one by number or name
- Wait for user response before proceeding
If a resource group is specified, validate it exists and proceed.
Step 2: Resource Discovery & Analysis
For bulk resource discovery across subscriptions, use Azure Resource Graph queries. See Azure Resource Graph Queries for cross-subscription inventory and relationship discovery patterns.
Once you have the resource group:
- Query all resources in the resource group using Azure MCP tools or
az. - Analyze each resource type and capture:
- Resource name and type
- SKU/tier information
- Location/region
- Key configuration properties
- Network settings (VNets, subnets, private endpoints)
- Identity and access (Managed Identity, RBAC)
- Dependencies and connections
