AI Azure architecture diagram generator.
From Bicep, ARM or Terraform, without granting a reader role on the subscription.
Sources it reads
Bicep files, ARM templates, Terraform using the azurerm provider, and Kubernetes manifests for AKS workloads. Bicep in particular reads well, because its module structure and symbolic references map cleanly onto components and edges without much inference.
How Lucid Train draws one
Describe what you want, or point it at a repository. The agent emits a semantic graph of nodes and edges with no coordinates, and the ELK layout engine computes positions and orthogonal routing. That separation is the reason the output cannot come back with boxes overlapping or arrows crossing through cards, which is the characteristic failure when a language model is asked to place things on a canvas itself. It also means editing is editing the graph: change a component and the layout re-solves rather than drifting out of alignment.
Resource groups are organisation, not architecture
Azure diagrams often use resource group boundaries as the primary grouping, which reflects how resources are administered rather than how the system works. Tiers describe the system; resource group membership becomes a note. If governance is the subject, draw that separately rather than letting it dominate the architecture picture.
Managed identity edges are worth drawing
Azure systems lean heavily on managed identities for service-to-service authentication, and those relationships are real edges that rarely appear in hand-drawn diagrams. Showing which identity a component uses to reach which resource makes an access model visible that is otherwise spread across role assignments.
Local, offline, your models
It runs as a desktop application. Against a local Ollama model the whole thing works offline with no API key and no telemetry, which is the practical difference from every browser-based diagram tool: your architecture never leaves the machine.
