multicloud-diagrams 0.3.41

Library to generate DRAW.IO compatible diagrams to represent Cloud infrastructure. AWS Cloud supported.

Explore and Document Your Cloud Infrastructure with multicloud-diagrams

---

As Professional Architects, Developers and DevOps with experience in operating on Public Cloud Providers, we all recognize the crucial importance of well-documented Infrastructure and Architecture in a representable form for driving successful projects.

multicloud-diagrams is a framework that combines multiple approaches: Diagrams as a Code (Dac), resources ingestion from external yaml sources, interaction through programmatic API integration.

It allows to store the Infrastructure snippet in drawio format, which is editable vector-based representation. Since source file is not a Raster form, it is easy to edit, customize, position elements based on our needs and track the history.

Why multicloud-diagrams is written on Python?

The choice of Python as the programming language for our initial project was driven by several key factors that align seamlessly with our goals and requirements. Here's why Python was selected as the foundation for our project's development:

• Seamless Integration and Data Ingestion using AWS Boto3 (official SDK for Amazon Web Services, developed in Python).
• Simplicity: Python's clean and readable syntax simplifies the development process. Its ease of use and elegant structure enable to focus on the core components without being bogged down by unnecessary complexities.
• Broad Appeal among DevOps and Developers: Python's popularity within the DevOps and Development communities is undeniable. Its extensive adoption is a testament to its effectiveness for building robust applications. By choosing Python, we cater to a broader audience, fostering collaboration and easing the learning curve for newcomers.
• Cross-Platform Availability: Python's cross-platform compatibility ensures that our project can be run on a wide array of environments without compatibility issues. Whether you're working on Windows, macOS, or Linux, Python's ubiquity guarantees consistent functionality across platforms.

Why multicloud-diagrams chooses drawio as the Output Format?

During my exploration of various tools on this journey, I've encountered several options, each with its own set of advantages and compromises. However, after careful consideration, the decision to adopt the drawio format emerged as the optimal choice for several compelling reasons:

• Editable form of drawio format provides a great level of customization, enabling users to easily fine-tune diagrams to meet specific needs and scenarios.
• Widespread Adoption: with a broad user base, drawio stands as one of the most widely used diagramming tools, ensuring familiarity and compatibility across diverse teams.
• Enhanced Plugin and Tool Support: the format seamlessly integrates with a set of plugins and tools, enriching the ecosystem with expanded capabilities and possibilities.
• Compact File Sizes: leveraging the drawio format results in compact file sizes, facilitating swift sharing and distribution without compromising visual quality.
• Git-trackable Infrastructure Evolution: allowing for efficient tracking and visualization of infrastructure mutations over time.
• Smooth Compilation to Raster and other formats: drawio supports out of the box converting to PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, VSDX, XML
