Keeping diagrams true

Keeping diagrams true

Once a scope has been polled, Continuum can put the results on a canvas.

Shapes

Resources become shapes, grouped by the boundaries that exist in the source: accounts, regions, virtual networks, resource groups. Icons resolve to the right vendor marks automatically.

Strata

Each resource's detail becomes a stratum on its shape: configuration, identifiers, relationships. The stratum stays true without anyone maintaining it.

What happens to your own work

Continuum-managed components are owned by Continuum and are rewritten on refresh. Shapes you drew yourself are yours and are not touched. Keep commentary and hand-drawn context on the Notes layer or in your own tabs, and it will survive every refresh.

Binding one shape

You do not have to generate a whole diagram. A single shape on a hand-drawn diagram can be bound to one live AWS resource, so only that shape's detail comes from the source.
