Getting an up-to-date diagram representation of your AWS deployment is always a headache for many companies. This short blog post shows you how easy it is to use VisualOps IDE to get your job done in a few seconds!
First, log in to the IDE, then, on the Dashboard screen, select “Visualize existing VPC”.
VisualOps will search on your AWS account for existing VPCs. Select there the VPC you want to visualize. Note that not all AWS resources can be visualized for now (see notes below).
A diagram will be generated automatically. You can move the icons as you feel like it.
For now, you can only export the diagram as picture files. However, VPC import as App will be available soon.
