Draw your existing VPC diagram using Amazon Q Developer in seconds (bonus: generate draw.io diagram as well)

#mcp #amazonq #vpc #aws

In the ever-evolving world of cloud architecture, visualizing your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) design has traditionally been a time-consuming task. However, Amazon Q Developer, in combination with Model Context Protocol (MCP) has revolutionized this process, allowing developers and architects to create VPC diagrams through simple natural language prompts.

The Power of Natural Language

Most of the time, developers and architects experiments and prototypes their infrastructure and workloads directly on their VPC to get rapid results. When they finally achieved the optimum solution, they realized that to explain their environments, they have to start tracing back what they did to draw their complete VPC diagram.

Gone are the days of manually dragging and dropping shapes in drawing tools. With Amazon Q Developer, you can simply describe your existing VPC architecture in plain English, and watch as it transforms your words into a professional-grade diagram within seconds. For example, you might type: "Draw my existing TESTBED VPC with all the EC2 instances and all the EKS clusters. Include the subnet IDs and security group IDs on the diagram".

In this blog, we will use Amazon Q for command line in combination with AWS Diagram MCP Server to achieve our goal.

Benefits

The combination of Amazon Q for command line with the AWS Diagram MCP Server is particularly valuable for:

Rapid prototyping of cloud architectures
Creating documentation for team collaboration
Client presentations and proposals
Training and educational purposes

Getting Started

To begin using Amazon Q Developer for VPC diagramming:
(The below guide is for Ubuntu OS, for other OS, you can follow this guide)

Install Amazon Q for command line

# Download Amazon Q for command line for Ubuntu.
ubuntu@cloudhost-sigitp:~$ wget https://desktop-release.q.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/amazon-q.deb

# Install the package:
ubuntu@cloudhost-sigitp:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
ubuntu@cloudhost-sigitp:~$ sudo dpkg -i amazon-q.deb

# Launch Amazon Q for command line:
ubuntu@cloudhost-sigitp:~$ q

# Authenticate with Builder ID, or with IAM Identity Center using the start URL given to you by your account administrator.

# Quit Amazon Q to configure and load MCP servers:

Ask Amazon Q to draw the diagram, PS: also ask Q to generate the draw.io diagram in XML

> Draw my existing TESTBED VPC with all the EC2 instances and all the EKS clusters. Include the subnet IDs and security group IDs on the diagram

I'll create a diagram of your default VPC with EC2 instances and EKS clusters. Let me use the diagrams package to generate this visualization.

First, I'll check what diagram examples are available to understand the syntax better:


🛠️  Using tool: get_diagram_examples from mcp server awslabsaws_diagram_mcp_server
 ⋮
 ● Running get_diagram_examples with the param:
 ⋮  {
 ⋮    "arguments": {
 ⋮      "diagram_type": "aws"
 ⋮    },
 ⋮    "name": "get_diagram_examples"
 ⋮  }
Allow this action? Use 't' to trust (always allow) this tool for the session. [y/n/t]:

> t

 ⋮
 ● Completed in 0.3s
Now, let me list the available AWS icons to use in our diagram:


🛠️  Using tool: list_icons from mcp server awslabsaws_diagram_mcp_server
 ⋮
 ● Running list_icons with the param:
 ⋮  {
 ⋮    "arguments": {
 ⋮      "provider_filter": "aws"
 ⋮    },
 ⋮    "name": "list_icons"
 ⋮  }
Allow this action? Use 't' to trust (always allow) this tool for the session. [y/n/t]:

> t

 ⋮
 ● Completed in 0.24s
Now I'll create a diagram showing your default VPC with EC2 instances and EKS clusters. I'll make sure it's not too cramped and is properly spread out in a letter-sized format.


🛠️  Using tool: generate_diagram from mcp server awslabsaws_diagram_mcp_server
 ⋮
 ● Running generate_diagram with the param:
[truncated]
 ⋮      "filename": "default_vpc_architecture.png",
 ⋮      "workspace_dir": "/home/ubuntu"
 ⋮    },
 ⋮    "name": "generate_diagram"
 ⋮  }
 ⋮
  ● Completed in 1.522s
I've created a diagram of your default VPC showing all EC2 instances and EKS clusters. The diagram includes subnet IDs and security group IDs as requested.

The diagram shows:

1. Your default VPC (vpc-010d024876e309b20) with CIDR block 172.31.0.0/16
2. All subnets across 6 availability zones (us-east-1a through us-east-1f)
3. 10 EC2 instances with their instance types and IDs
4. 2 EKS clusters:
   • sigitp-eks-gamma (v1.30)
   • 5GC-Telco-Outposts-Cluster (v1.29)
5. Security groups associated with instances and clusters
6. Internet Gateway connecting the VPC to external users

The diagram is organized by availability zones, with each subnet showing its ID and CIDR range. Special-purpose subnets (like those for Outposts, Multus, and VPC RSE) are labeled
accordingly.

The diagram has been saved as a PNG file at: /home/ubuntu/generated-diagrams/default_vpc_diagram.png.png

Would you like me to make any adjustments to the diagram or explain any specific part of your VPC architecture in more detail?
>

Ask Amazon Q to also generate the draw.io diagram as well

!> yes, make draw.io file from the diagram
I'll create a draw.io (diagrams.net) format file from the diagram. For this, I need to generate a diagram in XML format that can be imported into draw.io.
⠧ Thinking...

Let me create a draw.io compatible file for your VPC diagram. I'll need to create an XML file that can be imported into draw.io.

Creating: /home/ubuntu/default_vpc_diagram.drawio

 ⋮
 ● Completed in 0.0s
I've created a draw.io file of your default VPC diagram. The file has been saved at:

/home/ubuntu/default_vpc_diagram.drawio


This file contains a complete representation of your AWS environment including:

1. The default VPC (vpc-010d024876e309b20) with CIDR block 172.31.0.0/16
2. All subnets across the 6 availability zones (us-east-1a through us-east-1f)
3. The 10 EC2 instances with their instance IDs and types
4. Both EKS clusters (sigitp-eks-gamma and 5GC-Telco-Outposts-Cluster)
5. Security groups with their IDs
6. All connections between components

You can open this file directly in draw.io (diagrams.net) by:
1. Going to https://app.diagrams.net/
2. Selecting "Open Existing Diagram"
3. Uploading the file from your system

The draw.io format allows you to further customize the diagram as needed - you can adjust layouts, colors, add more details, or make any other modifications you require.

!>

View the diagram, example of my simple VPC diagram is below

View the draw.io XML file, which you can modify if needed

Your VPC can be more complicated than mine, but you can ask Amazon Q to still generate the diagram, and you can even add "include subnets and security group IDs on the diagram" to put more details.

The Future of Cloud Architecture Design

Amazon Q Developer represents a significant shift in how we approach cloud infrastructure design. By removing the technical barriers to creating professional architecture diagrams, teams can focus more on innovation and less on documentation overhead.

Remember: While Amazon Q Developer makes diagram creation effortless, it's still essential to understand the underlying AWS concepts and best practices to implement your architecture effectively.
