cloud

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Create cloud architecture diagrams using drawio XML format with official cloud provider icons. Best for AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud architecture diagrams with proper service icons and layout conventions. Built on drawio with cloud-specific stencils. NOT for simple flowcharts (use mermaid) or network topology without cloud services (use network skill).

Cloud Architecture Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Choose cloud provider → Add service icons from stencil library → Group services in regions/VPCs → Connect with data flow arrows → Wrap in

```drawio

fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use
```drawio
code fence. NEVER use
```xml
— it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

🔗 This is a drawio-derived skill. All structure, layout, and edge routing rules inherit from drawio SKILL.md. Read the base rules first.

Cloud-specific additions:

Check stencils/README.md for exact cloud stencil names (e.g.,
```
mxgraph.aws4.*
```
,
```
mxgraph.gcp2.*
```
)
Use
```
fillColor=none;
```
for VPC/region containers to avoid covering child services
