Azure Visualizer, aka AzViz

Azure Visualizer aka AzViz is a PowerShell module that automatically generates Azure resource topology diagrams by just typing a PowerShell cmdlet and passing the name of one or more Azure Resource Group(s). It finds resources in an Azure Resource Group and identifies their dependencies, plots nodes and edges to represent Azure resources and their dependencies on a graph, inserts appropriate Azure icons based on resource category/sub-category, labels each resource with information like name, category, type, etc., and generates the visualization in formats like .png and .svg. Output image can be in light, dark, or neon theme. It can target more than one resource group at once and can change direction in which resource groups are plotted, i.e. left-to-right or top-to-bottom. Users need to install GraphViz on their system before they can proceed with using the AzViz PowerShell module. This module is inspired from Kevin Marquettes PSGraph module.
