What is an Azure Architecture Diagram?
How to Create an Azure Architecture Diagram Collaboratively?
Creating a shared design workspace
Open a Creately workspace on its Azure architecture diagram generator and share it with others in your team to collaborate with them. You can use real-time mouse cursors and synced previews to easily track the changes other participants make in the workspace.
Planning and requirement gathering
Have each team member gather information about the different components and services that will be included in the Azure-based solution. This can include details about IP addresses, DNS settings, and security configurations.
Creating a high-level architecture diagram
Create an Azure diagram in Creately using an existing template or build it from scratch using the wide array of Azure icons in the shapes library. You can search for the Azure templates via the search on the Templates tab.
Detailed design and diagramming
Make a base for your Azure architecture diagram for web application. It can be helpful to draw a rectangle or boundary that describes what is happening within your instance. You can change the style of these rectangles by clicking on the rectangle and then clicking the square icon that appears to open the edit shape properties menu. It is also possible to change the style and placement of the text.
Creating the architecture diagram
Create the Azure architecture by dragging and dropping the shapes. Drag and drop the corresponding Azure shapes into your diagram, depending on the tool (laptop, monitor with a mouse, tab, etc) you’re using.
Connecting dynamic connectors
Draw arrows to illustrate how information flows. Use dynamic connectors to connect the networking devices.
Review and feedback
Once the diagram is complete, share the Azure diagram with team members and ask for their feedback. You can use comments to carry out discussions and tag teammates to get clarifications.
Iteration and validation
Use version control to keep track of changes made to the Azure diagram. This allows team members to see the evolution of the diagram and rollback to previous versions if needed.
Deployment and maintenance
Save and share your work. Save your Azure architecture in Creately’a Azure architecture diagram tool and use the share feature. You can also add the Azure diagram directly onto Google/Microsoft documents, spreadsheets, and presentations or download it in different formats such as SVG, PNG, JPEG, and PDF.
