cloud-formation-viz

This tool is for creating visualizations of CloudFormation templates.

Installation:

cd cloud-formation-viz
python -m venv .venv 
source .venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install

It outputs Graphviz dot files. It can be used like this where example.template is a json cloudformation template:

cat example.template | cfviz | dot -Tsvg -oexample.svg

The following can be used with yaml formatted templates:

cfviz example.yaml | dot -Tsvg -oexample.svg

The only dependency of the cfviz script is Python (>=3.7) and the PyYaml package. You will also need to have Graphviz graphviz installed for the output to be any use.

The samples samples directory contains output of running the tool over the samples aws-samples provided by AWS.
