Future of Azure-PlantUML

[RicardoNiepel]

Let's wait for upcoming changes at plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML#81 and then proceed here.

@RicardoNiepel Most of the current issues seem to be about missing icons.

I would suggest we make a list of those first, to triage which missing icons come from the official pack and which will need to be added manually. I've been working behind the screens on automating various tasks for retrieving, generating, and releasing icons/sprites to make it easier to update the official std-lib. The missing icons triage list might be a good place to start using some of those tools...

All "missing icon or sprite" issues:

• Missing Azure Firewall Azure Firewall Not Included #7
• Missing Azure Blockchain Service No Azure Blockchain Service #11
• Missing AzureSubnet Missing AzureSubnet #14
• Missing Active Directory Missing Active Directory #15
• Missing Azure App Configuration Azure App Configuration missing #18

the issue "Check In All Azure Icons" #10 is more-or-les a catch-all for the above.

Both #16 and #17 attempt to resolve things by updating the svg/png/puml files but in their current state they introduce too many changes to easily review.

Will Purview and Synapse be included in the future?

[Potherca]

@eedwards36 I think so... they're likely to be part of either the official icon set or the manually added ones. 👍

I don't see a sprite for generic "Internet" cloud that looks "azure-ish". Any chance we could get one added?

[ChrisProlls]

Device Provisioning Service is missing too ...

[stunney]

PowerBI also is not in the list.

[Potherca]

Work is being done in #31 to update the icons.
If the desired icons are not part of that set, we'll have to do another round of searching four sources that do provided them.

[ChrisProlls]

I take advantage of the last activities on this repo to ask for this question : how to use the colored version of icons ?
Is this now possible ?
This prevents me to use PlantUML as it full potential ...

[Potherca]

Hi @ChrisProlls! I've created a new issue to address your question: #33, lets continue there. 👍

[Potherca]

Closing this issue, in favor of new issue being opened to address new issue. To all people who spoke up in this thread: Thank you!. It shows us there is still an interest in this project and that our support is still needed. 🙏
