Answer 1

Hello, @Varma !

How do I visualize how different Azure services are connected or generate reports on my Azure services?

The best Azure based solution for visualizing different services is arguably Network Watcher's topology feature:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/network-insights-topology

Topology provides an interactive interface to view resources and their relationships in Azure across multiple subscriptions, regions, and resource groups. It helps you manage and monitor your cloud network infrastructure with interactive graphical interface that provides you with insights from Azure Network Watcher connection monitor and traffic analytics. Topology helps you diagnose and troubleshoot network issues by providing contextual access to Network Watcher diagnostic tools such as connection troubleshoot, packet capture, and next hop.

Another powerful tool to look at is Azure Resource Graph:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/overview

Azure Resource Graph is an Azure service designed to extend Azure Resource Management by providing efficient and performant resource exploration. Resource Graph has the ability to query at scale across a given set of subscriptions so that you can effectively govern your environment. These queries provide the following abilities:

• Query resources with complex filtering, grouping, and sorting by resource properties.
• Explore resources iteratively based on governance requirements.
• Assess the effect of applying policies in a vast cloud environment.
• Query changes made to resource properties.

What Azure CLI commands can I use to check Azure service configurations?

There is usually an Azure CLI command for anything you want to accomplish:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/?view=azure-cli-latest

Examples:

• az vm show: Get the details of a VM.
• az network vnet show: Get the details of a virtual network.
• az network front-door show: Get the details of a Front Door.
• az network application-gateway show: Get the details of an application gateway.
• az network vwan show: Get the details of a virtual WAN.

Answer 2

Nothing native - but you might want to explore some open-source (e.g. https://github.com/PrateekKumarSingh/AzViz ) and commercial (e.g. https://www.hava.io/azure-infrastructure-diagrams) products
