Finding the Right Component

By Service Name

If you know the Azure service name, look in the relevant category:

• App Service → compute or web
• Azure SQL → database or databases
• Cosmos DB → database
• Functions → compute
• AKS → compute or containers
• Logic Apps → integration
• Service Bus → integration
• Event Grid → integration or iot
• Event Hubs → analytics or iot

Duplicate Components

Some services appear in multiple modules. Generally:

• Use the most specific module for your diagram type
• database vs databases - both work, choose by personal preference
• network vs networking - networking has more modern components

Missing Components

If a component isn't available:

1. Use diagrams.azure.general for generic icons
2. Use a related service icon
3. Create a custom node with diagrams.custom.Custom

Best Practices

Importing

# Good - import what you need
from diagrams.azure.compute import FunctionApps, AKS
from diagrams.azure.database import CosmosDb

# Avoid - importing entire modules
from diagrams.azure import compute  # harder to read

Naming Consistency

# Use descriptive variable names
with Diagram("Architecture"):
    api_gateway = APIManagement("API Gateway")
    order_function = FunctionApps("Process Orders")
    order_db = CosmosDb("Orders DB")

Grouping Related Services

with Cluster("Data Tier"):
    cosmos = CosmosDb("Primary")
    redis = CacheForRedis("Cache")
    
with Cluster("Integration"):
    bus = ServiceBus("Events")
    logic = LogicApps("Workflows")
