Yes. Visio is still a thing. To draw expressive diagrams with the correct visual representation of the underlying services you need to have access to quality stencils.

There is the Microsoft Azure Cloud and AI Symbol / Icon Set - SVG from Microsoft of course but I stumbled across a LinkedIn post from David Summers today where he shared his own additional set of stencils for Azure.

Head to his GitHub account and check it out:

If you have not been working with Management Groups to manage Azure at scale, I recommend to review the documentation. You should also take a look at the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (which was just recently updated).

If you use Management groups to manage Azure at scale you may get hit with a bug in the Azure portal, that I discovered today. If you rename the Root Tenant Group the portal stops showing any previously create management groups. Their assignment are still active and you can still manage them using PowerShell or CLI but the portal will start show the out-of-the-box experience.
