Hello,

I have defined a few resources on my Azure resource group.

Is there a way that I could generate an architectural diagram 1) from the resource group and 2) from ARM template.

Please advise.

Thanks.

    Thank you Kalyan. I tried ARM Template Viewer from Visual Studio Code. It works fine.

    @Patrick Cho Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forums.
    Please try the Visual Studio Code extension ARM Template Viewer by Ben Coleman, a Microsoft employee.

    Do post your feedback here if you find any bugs or have any feature requests.

    Another such tool is ArmWiz, you can upload your template and get a visualization.

    Did you ever work with them for documentation purposes ?

    All these visualisations are either incomplete and incorrect.

    E.g. as shown above a network would be shown as a component where the correct visualisation would be a canvas around the network bound components.

    Same for VMs where networkcards are part of the VM even so they only exist virtually you would need a different visualisation to understand the configuration.

    Are these tools verified to be safe by Microsoft? The ArmWiz link takes you to an insecure page.

    You can use Resource visualizer at the export template option
