AzViz - Azure Visualizer

Azure Visualizer aka 'AzViz' - PowerShell module to automatically generate Azure resource topology diagrams by just typing a PowerShell cmdlet and passing the name of one or more Azure Resource Group(s).

Cloud admins are not anymore doomed to manually document a cloud environment! The pain of inheriting an undocumented cloud landscape to support is gone 😎😉 so please share this project with your colleagues and friends.

It is capable of:

• Finding Resources in a Azure Resource Group and identifying their dependencies.
• Plot nodes and edges to represent Azure Resources and their dependencies on a graph.
• Insert appropriate Azure Icons on basis of resource category/sub-category.
• Label each resource with information like Name, Category, Type etc.
• Generate visualization in formats like: .png and .svg
• Output image can be in 'light', 'dark' or 'neon' theme.
• Can target more than one resource group at once.
• Change direction in which resource groups are plotted, i.e, left-to-right or top-to-bottom.
