Code to Custom Cloud Architecture Diagrams

If you are looking to generate multi-cloud or custom cloud architectures diagrams from code quickly, then look at “Diagram as Code for prototyping cloud system architectures” tool.

The diagrams as a code tool supports all cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, IBM and their respective services/components.  If some of the service nodes are not available, you can create one using the custom node feature.

I used the custom extensions node to develop my own constructs for a Google Cloud CI/CD process using Cloud Code, Cloud Build, Google Cloud Deploy, and GKE. The reference architecture wa picked up from Google blog – https://cloud.google.com/architecture/app-development-and-delivery-with-cloud-code-gcb-cd-and-gke

For the AWS version of the code, please click here.

Following is the custom code for the above diagram,

from diagrams import Cluster, Diagram, Edge
from diagrams.custom import Custom

with Diagram("Google Cloud", show=True):

    developer = Custom("","./my_extensions/developer.png")

    operationsApproval = Custom("","./my_extensions/operations-approval.png")

    with Cluster("Google Cloud"):

         develop = Custom("","./my_extensions/develop-cloud-code.png")

         sourceRepo = Custom("","./my_extensions/cloud-source-repo.png")

         ciBuild = Custom("","./my_extensions/ci-cloud-build.png")

         ciDeploy = Custom("","./my_extensions/cloud-deploy.png")

         buildArtifact = Custom("","./my_extensions/cloud-storage-build-artifact.png")

          deployArtifact = Custom("","./my_extensions/deploy-artifacts-cloud-storage.png")

          artifactRegistry = Custom("","./my_extensions/artifact-registry.png")

          stagingCluster = Custom("","./my_extensions/staging-cluster-gke.png")

          productionCluster = Custom("","./my_extensions/production-cluster-gke.png")


          ciDeploy >> stagingCluster

          ciDeploy >> deployArtifact

          ciDeploy >> productionCluster

          artifactRegistry >> stagingCluster

          artifactRegistry >> productionCluster

          ciBuild >> [buildArtifact,ciDeploy,artifactRegistry]

          sourceRepo >> Edge(label="trigger") >>ciBuild

          develop >> sourceRepo


operationsApproval >> Edge(label="Approval") >> productionCluster

developer >> develop
