Terraform to Visio?

[Joe V]

is there a way to use terraform and build out a viso/network diagram from aws? thoughts ideas?

[Sean Farrow]

Hi,

 

Given that Visio has an object model (assuming you mean the Ms product) it’s something that would be possible, how do you see this working?

Cheers

Sean.

If you have graphviz installed, you can generate graphs using the following:

If you need it to be in Visio, you may be able to do some magic with parsing `terraform graph` output and molding that into something.

doesnt have to be Visio.. any visualization tool to represent a aws environment using terraform.  example like below

[Conor Gilsenan]

Joe, any luck finding a tool to generate nice diagrams like you posted in your example? I have been looking for a tool to do this for a while and haven't found anything yet. The closest thing I've found (haven't tried yet) is Cloudcraft Live. It is on my todo list to try out Cloudcraft.

Is `terraform graph` not what you're looking for?

You'd think it is... but it's not. It's generating a graph of the terraform state and not one of the infrastructure. I'd done something like this at a previous job using cloudformation, but I was doing weird things like using the security group rules to extract the relationships between the components. And this really only worked for the ec2 instances in my stack. I never finished integrating the elbs (as an example) into the graph in relation to the other resources. Though I did follow a similar strategy to `terraform graph` and generated graphviz dot output to draw the graph.
