Portable Azure topology and documentation snapshots with OSIRIS JSON
Hi Tia, this is a really interesting idea, especially the read-only snapshot angle. For documentation and topology views, I’d personally prioritize VNets/subnets, peering, route tables, NSGs, private endpoints/private DNS zones, load balancers/App Gateways, AKS subnet/node pool links, Key Vault dependencies, managed identities, and App Service/Function dependencies.
The documentation vs audit split also makes sense to me. In enterprise environments, architecture teams usually want a clean high-level view, while security/governance teams need deeper properties for review and drift checks.
One useful next step could be adding opinionated “views” on top of the same snapshot, for example network topology, identity/access dependencies, internet exposure, and private connectivity. That would make the JSON easier to consume for diagrams, CMDB imports, and audit workflows.
Great work, and nice to see a vendor-neutral approach here
