I like the idea. I have tried a bunch but haven't found "the one" cloud architecture diagram that I truly love yet.

I would be more into it if the diagram could be exported / represented as code so I could keep an updateable source in my git repo.

I also think things like VPCs should be able to be represented as containers of other components vs just another icon.

The only thing I've really found that works for me has been ilograph[1] that allows you to draw your diagram and then create different "views" into it depending on what the focus of the diagram is. Here's a wonderful demo of what it would look like converting some AWS architecture diagrams into ilograph ones[2].

I'm not affiliated with this project at all - I just really love it.

Oh that is very interesting. First time seeing a cloud architecture diagram tool with support for different views.
