Visualize dependencies in Azure resource groups with VSCode

Introduction

Visualization is possible using VS Code extensions and ARM Templates exported from Azure with ARM Template Viewer

ARM Template Viewer Features

1. Resources can be moved by dragging and dropping the mouse.
2. Click the resource to see the details in the lower right corner.
3. You can filter and add parameter files.

ARM Template error checking

Viewer will display an error if the template is misconfigured. It’s not a check to see if it can be imported, but I think it can be used as a reference.

Extensions to install in VS Code

Open VS Code Extensions search ARM Template Viewer and install it.
