Do I need to know the specific resource group name?

Not necessarily. If you don't provide a name, the skill can list all available resource groups in your subscription for you to choose from.

Does it identify connections between different resources?

Yes, it maps network connections (VNets/subnets), data flows (Apps to Databases), and identity relationships (Managed Identities) to show how resources interact.

What if I have a very large resource group?

The skill is designed to handle complex architectures by grouping resources into logical layers such as Compute, Data, and Networking to maintain clarity.

Can this skill modify or delete my Azure resources?

No, the Azure Resource Visualizer is a read-only tool designed specifically for analysis and documentation. It cannot create, modify, or delete any resources.

What format are the architecture diagrams in?

The diagrams are generated using Mermaid.js syntax, which is natively supported by GitHub, VS Code, and many documentation platforms.
