Hey everyone! I'm looking to diagram 22 VNETs for a project. Here's what I'm working with: I have the VNet names as $vnetName, the resource group as $vnetRG, the location as $location, the address space as $addressSpace, subnet details as $subnetDetails, and info on what they are peered with as $peeringDetails. I'm curious if anyone has done something similar and how long it might take?

Come on, it’s just 22 VNETs—just get started already, lol! You'll manage it.
You can grab that data super fast using PowerShell or the Azure CLI—it'll only take a few minutes! Honestly, since it's just 22 VNETs, you could probably do it quicker using the GUI than it took to type this post, haha!
Have you tried using GPT to help with the naming and details according to your design? You can even ask it to generate prompts for architectural design, then use something like eraser.io to visualize it!
It shouldn’t take too long if you use the right tools. I found this GitHub repo really helpful for automating the process: [microsoft/ARI](https://github.com/microsoft/ARI). You might want to check it out!
I also found a great tool recently for visualizing networks: [cloudnet-draw](https://github.com/krhatland/cloudnet-draw#). It’s perfect for Azure topology!
Yeah, I did use PowerShell in the end, but the drawing part is what really takes time, so I wanted to see what tools others might suggest!
