Lucidscale can be used to import cloud infrastructure data from Azure. For a comprehensive list of the supported environments, resources, and lines from Azure that are available in Lucidscale read this article.
For instructions on importing cloud infrastructure data from Azure and using it to generate diagrams in Lucidscale, refer to our Import and manage Azure infrastructure data in Lucidscale article.
Supported environments
Lucid supports data import from the following distinct Azure cloud environments:
- Global Azure (AzureCloud): This is the standard, commercial public cloud available worldwide.
- Azure Government (AzureUSGovernment): This is a physically and logically isolated cloud instance for US government agencies and their partners.
Note: Other sovereign cloud environments, such as Azure China, are operated as separate instances from Global Azure and cannot currently be imported by Lucid due to technical and regulatory separation.
Supported resources
Lucid provides automated diagramming for the following Azure resources. These resources are referred to as “mapped resources” within Lucid editors.
