Aws Arch Drawio Plugin
Turn Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM in your repo into official-icon AWS architecture diagrams in Draw.io without hand-drawing every service.
Overview
aws-arch-drawio-plugin is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that generates official-icon AWS Draw.io architecture diagrams from IaC code.
What is this marketplace?
- Parses CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, and SAM to infer services and relationships
- Renders Draw.io diagrams with mxgraph.aws4.* official AWS icons and tier-based layout
- Layer management for readable multi-tier architectures
- Enterprise-style output with PNG and SVG export paths
- Tagged for aws, architecture, drawio, infrastructure, and diagram workflows
- Marketplace bundles 1 plugin: aws-arch-drawio v0.1.0
- Supports four IaC sources: CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, and SAM
What problem does it solve?
Keeping architecture drawings aligned with Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM is tedious and diagrams drift the moment code changes.
Who is it for?
Solo builders and tiny teams who live in IaC and need shareable AWS diagrams without a dedicated diagramming ritual.
Skip if: Teams that do not use Draw.io, only need non-AWS clouds, or want automated compliance scanning instead of visualization.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get tiered, layer-managed Draw.io diagrams that reflect scanned IaC relationships and export cleanly to PNG or SVG.
- Draw.io diagram with mxgraph.aws4 AWS icons and tier layout
- PNG or SVG exports suitable for docs and decks

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
Solo builders document and reason about cloud stacks while wiring IaC during the build phase, before or alongside deployment work. The plugin ingests infrastructure-as-code and integration definitions—the same artifacts you maintain when connecting AWS services in code.
How it compares
IaC-to-diagram generator plugin, not a deploy skill or MCP observability server.
