AI Multi-Cloud Diagram Maker — IaC Visualizer

A Multi-Cloud diagram is a visual representation of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) architecture, showing how cloud resources (AWS EC2, Azure VMs, GCP Compute, RDS, VPCs, networks) interact and depend on each other across providers. Diagrams typically illustrate providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), resources (compute, storage, networking, databases), modules, variables, and state management. Multi-Cloud diagrams are essential for documentation, architecture reviews, multi-cloud planning, compliance audits, and onboarding new infrastructure engineers.

With Cloudairy, paste your .tf files or terraform.tfstate into the AI generator and describe your infrastructure — for example, 'AWS VPC with 3 subnets, 2 EC2 instances, RDS MySQL, ALB, auto-scaling group' — and the AI generates a complete architecture diagram with proper cloud resource icons, dependencies, and labels. You can also design from scratch or describe infrastructure in plain English. The AI approach reduces design time from 120+ minutes to under 5 minutes.

Yes. Cloudairy parses both .tf (HCL) files and terraform.tfstate JSON state files. You can paste HCL code directly, and Cloudairy extracts resources, variables, outputs, and modules to auto-generate topology diagrams. For state files, upload your tfstate to visualize current infrastructure state without running terraform graph CLI commands. This eliminates the need to wrangle terraform graph output or manually build diagrams.

Yes. Cloudairy includes pre-built templates and AI understanding of AWS (EC2, RDS, VPC, ALB), Azure (VMs, databases, VNets, firewalls), and Google Cloud (Compute, Cloud SQL, VPCs) architectures. Each cloud provider has distinct resource types and networking patterns — Cloudairy's templates and AI prompt recognition handle these differences. Multi-cloud diagrams show resources across all providers in one unified topology.

No. Unlike tools like Pluralith that require live cluster or CLI access, Cloudairy does NOT require a cluster connection or installed CLI. You can design and visualize multi-cloud architectures directly in Cloudairy without touching your running infrastructure — ideal for planning before implementation, pre-deployment reviews, and multi-cloud strategy documentation.

Yes. Cloudairy supports one-click export to PNG, SVG, PDF, Visio (.vsdx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and draw.io formats. This flexibility allows you to embed diagrams in infrastructure documentation, compliance presentations, cloud migration RFCs, design reviews, and technical architecture documents. Exported files are fully editable in their native applications.

Yes. Cloudairy offers a completely free tier with unlimited multi-cloud diagram creation, export, and storage. No signup is required to start creating diagrams; you can save work by creating a free account. The free tier includes all core features: AI generation, cloud templates, multi-format export, real-time collaboration comments, and access to the official cloud icon library. Premium tiers add enterprise features like advanced analytics and priority support.

Cloudairy's three key differentiators: (1) AI Prompt-to-Diagram — describe your infrastructure in English and AI generates the diagram instantly (Brainboard has no AI generation; Pluralith requires live cluster); (2) HCL/tfstate Parsing — paste .tf files or state JSON directly for auto-generated topology (Brainboard and Pluralith require manual entry); (3) Multi-cloud Icons — AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI in one tool (Brainboard focuses AWS; Pluralith is K8s-only). Cloudairy also offers unlimited free tier and better multi-cloud template support.

Yes. Cloudairy supports real-time collaboration — multiple team members can edit the same multi-cloud diagram simultaneously with live cursor positions, typed-text synchronization, and comment threads. You can assign permissions (edit/view/comment), mention teammates, and track version history. Ideal for distributed design reviews, infrastructure workshops, and collaborative capacity planning across DevOps and platform engineering teams.

Terraform modules are reusable code packages that encapsulate resources, variables, and outputs. A module diagram shows structure with inputs (variables), outputs, and contained resources (EC2, RDS, VPC, etc.). Cloudairy includes templates for modular architectures showing how modules reference each other and pass data through variables and outputs. Module diagrams are critical for understanding complex infrastructure, reusability patterns, and dependency management in large IaC codebases.
