Newer services and the `Custom()` fallback

diagrams 0.25.x ships a dedicated diagrams.azure.newicons module alongside the expanded aimachinelearning, containers, managementgovernance, databases and networking modules. For brand-new Azure services the library has not caught up with yet, use a Custom() node pointing at an official icon SVG you download locally.

Licensing note: Microsoft's Azure architecture icons may be used in your own diagrams, but the terms do not allow redistributing or bundling the icon files in a third-party repository. Download them locally for Custom(); do not commit them here.

AKS Network Policy

Container networking control for Kubernetes:

# If available in diagrams library
from diagrams.azure.compute import AKS
from diagrams.azure.network import NetworkSecurityGroupsClassic

# Workaround using existing icons
aks = AKS("AKS + Network Policy")
nsg = NetworkSecurityGroupsClassic("Network Policy")

Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI)

Hybrid infrastructure for edge and datacenter:

from diagrams.azure.azurestack import Capacity
from diagrams.custom import Custom

# Using Azure Stack icon as fallback
azure_local = Capacity("Azure Local")

# Or use custom icon if you have the SVG
# azure_local = Custom("Azure Local", "./icons/azure-local.svg")

Azure Linux

Microsoft's Linux distribution for containers:

from diagrams.azure.compute import VMLinux, AKS

# AKS nodes running Azure Linux
aks_linux = AKS("AKS\n(Azure Linux)")

# VM with Azure Linux
vm_linux = VMLinux("Azure Linux VM")

Azure Web PubSub

Real-time messaging service for WebSocket applications:

from diagrams.azure.web import Signalr
from diagrams.custom import Custom

# Signalr is the closest existing icon
pubsub = Signalr("Web PubSub")

# Or use custom icon
# pubsub = Custom("Web PubSub", "./icons/web-pubsub.svg")

Custom Icon Fallback Pattern

For icons not yet in the diagrams library:

from diagrams import Diagram, Cluster
from diagrams.custom import Custom

# Download official icons from:
# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/icons/

with Diagram("Custom Icons Example", show=False, outformat="png"):
    # Use custom SVG files
    azure_local = Custom("Azure Local", "./icons/azure-local.svg")
    web_pubsub = Custom("Web PubSub", "./icons/web-pubsub.svg")

    azure_local >> web_pubsub

Icon Sources

Source	URL	Notes
Official Microsoft	https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/icons/	Authoritative, regularly updated
Azure Icons Collection	https://github.com/benc-uk/icon-collection	Community curated, 705+ icons
az-icons.com	https://az-icons.com/	Searchable, downloadable
Diagrams Library	https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/nodes/azure	Built-in icons

Checking Icon Availability

This skill bundles a generator so you never have to hand-type or guess class names:

python scripts/list_azure_nodes.py            # summary: classes per module
python scripts/list_azure_nodes.py --markdown # full catalogue (module headings + class lists)
python scripts/list_azure_nodes.py --json     # machine-readable {module: [classes]}

Finding the Right Component

By Service Name

If you know the Azure service name, look in the relevant category:

App Service → compute or web
Azure SQL → database or databases
Cosmos DB → database
Functions → compute
AKS → compute or containers
Logic Apps → integration
Service Bus → integration
Event Grid → integration or iot
Event Hubs → analytics or iot

Duplicate Components

Some services appear in multiple modules. Generally:

Use the most specific module for your diagram type
database vs databases - both work, choose by personal preference
network vs networking - networking has more modern components

Missing Components

If a component isn't available:

Use diagrams.azure.general for generic icons
Use a related service icon
Create a custom node with diagrams.custom.Custom

Best Practices

Importing

# Good - import what you need
from diagrams.azure.compute import FunctionApps, AKS
from diagrams.azure.database import CosmosDb

# Avoid - importing entire modules
from diagrams.azure import compute  # harder to read

Naming Consistency

# Use descriptive variable names
with Diagram("Architecture"):
    api_gateway = APIManagement("API Gateway")
    order_function = FunctionApps("Process Orders")
    order_db = CosmosDb("Orders DB")

Grouping Related Services

with Cluster("Data Tier"):
    cosmos = CosmosDb("Primary")
    redis = CacheForRedis("Cache")
    
with Cluster("Integration"):
    bus = ServiceBus("Events")
    logic = LogicApps("Workflows")
