Diagrams

Introduction

Diagrams present an in-depth visual representation of Azure resources and their topologies, structured in XML format and compatible with draw.io for easy visualization.

Diagrams are categorized into two types:

• Network diagram - provide a visual representation specifically for virtual networks and their associated resources
• Workloads diagram - lists all resources within Azure along with their associated dependencies
