Cloud diagrams

Cloud diagrams are AI diagrams generated from a connected cloud environment. Reference an AWS account, an Azure subscription, or a Google Cloud project in AI chat, describe what you want, and Eraser draws it from the infrastructure it found in the last scan – not from a description of what should be there.

Before you start

• A cloud environment has to be connected and Active in Settings → Cloud connect. Each provider has its own walkthrough: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• The first scan starts when you connect and takes a minute or two. Until it finishes, the environment cannot be used in a prompt.

Generating a cloud diagram

1. Open AI chat

A new chat opens on the screen below. Leave the prompt box empty for now – the reference menu only opens from an empty prompt.

2. Add a cloud environment

Press / to open the reference menu, then choose Cloud environments under Add Reference.

3. Pick the environment

Each entry is one AWS account, one Azure subscription, or one Google Cloud project. A connection that covers several – an AWS organization, an Azure tenant, a set of Google Cloud projects – lists each one separately, with the connection it belongs to underneath.

Only connections that are Active in Settings → Cloud connect are listed. If the list is empty, nothing is connected yet.

To include more than one environment, press / again and pick another. Each one appears as a chip above the prompt.

4. Describe what you want

Type your prompt and send it. Eraser reads the environment and draws the diagram.

What to ask for

Ask for the whole environment, or for one part of it. Naming what you are after gives the best results:

• “Create an architecture diagram of this Azure subscription”
• “Draw the VPC that contains the orders service, with its subnets and load balancers”
• “Diagram the checkout workload – everything it talks to, and everything that talks to it”
• “Draw everything deployed in us-east-1”
• “Show the network topology: VNets, peerings, and private endpoints”
• “Diagram the data stores in this project and which services connect to them”
• “Show what has access to the production database”

How Eraser reads the environment

Eraser reads the newest scan of the environment, not the live account. There is no scheduled background scan, so before generating a diagram that should reflect something you just deployed, choose Rescan in Settings → Cloud connect.

Several environments can be attached to one prompt – two subscriptions, or an account and a project. Eraser reads each one and draws them together.

Refining the result

Keep prompting to change the result – add a service, drop a region, group things differently. AI presets and custom styles apply to cloud diagrams the same way they do to any other AI diagram: add them from the same / menu.

You can also ask for a document instead of a diagram – an inventory of what is deployed, or a description of how a workload is wired up – with the same environment attached.
