Create AWS Architectures diagram-based

As I work often with diagram images for an overview of my architecture, I thought it would be nice if you could directly jump from the picture to the AWS console.

Well, it turns: out no problem with draw.io (or similar programs). Its just four simple steps:

Step one draw big picture

Here is an example

Step two: create resources

Start here or even better here

Step three: Copy url

Goto the resource in the console and copy the url.

Step four: Edit link

This is in german, but you should find it

Voila - now you can jump from your big picture overview diagram to the resources.

What do you think, is it worth writing a patch for cfn-diagrams to create these links automatically?

That's all for today, stay healthy and keep on building :)
