  • ✅ Oracle Cloud

  • ✅ IBM Cloud

  • ✅ Kubernetes (K8s)

  • ✅ DigitalOcean

  • ✅ OpenStack

  • ✅ Elastic Cloud

  • ✅ Generic (neutral) cloud setup

👉 Easily switch between providers to compare architectures side-by-side—perfect for decision-making and governance.

3. Architectural Strategy Selection

Choose a design philosophy that aligns with your goals:

  • 🟢 Low Cost / MVP – Ideal for rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept.

  • 🟡 High Availability – Designed for fault-tolerant, production-grade systems.

  • 🔵 Enterprise Grade – Comprehensive, secure, scalable, and compliant.

  • 🟣 Edge Optimized – Tailored for low-latency, distributed applications (e.g., IoT, real-time apps).

These strategies guide the AI in selecting appropriate components, configurations, and deployment patterns.

4. Interactive Diagram Editor

Once generated, your diagram is fully editable:

  • Zoom, pan, and explore every component in detail.

  • Click any shape to swap it with alternatives (e.g., change RDS to DynamoDB, or replace EC2 with Fargate).

  • Use natural language prompts to make changes:
    “Add auto-scaling to the backend servers”
    “Move the database to a read replica for better performance”

This level of interactivity turns static diagrams into dynamic design canvases.

5. Export & Documentation

  • Export your diagrams as high-resolution, resolution-independent SVG files—perfect for presentations, documentation, or integration into design systems.

  • Support for PNG, PDF, and other formats coming soon.

6. Project Management & Collaboration

  • Save projects to your Visual Paradigm account.

  • Load previous designs for reuse or iteration.

  • Share projects via link—ideal for team reviews, stakeholder feedback, or board approvals.

  • Built-in collaboration tools ensure alignment across departments.

7. AI-Driven Analysis & Reporting

The AI doesn’t stop at diagram generation. It also provides intelligent insights and recommendations:

  • Asks clarifying questions during setup (e.g., “Will this system handle 10,000 concurrent users?”)

  • Offers AI-suggested answers when you’re unsure.

  • Generates detailed architecture reports (Markdown or PDF) in the Report tab, covering:

    • Security considerations

    • Scalability and performance

    • Cost estimation (approx.)

    • Compliance & best practices

    • Risk assessment and mitigation

These reports are invaluable for audits, investor pitches, or internal governance.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use AI Cloud Architecture Studio

Let’s walk through a real-world example: designing a real-time food delivery application using Azure.

A screenshot of Visual Paradigm's AI Cloud Architecture Studio, showing the first step - Providing the context of the system

Step 1: Access the Tool

  • Log in to your Visual Paradigm account.

  • Navigate to the AI Cloud Architecture Studio via the AI Toolbox or directly at the launch URL.

Step 2: Define Your Solution (Discovery Tab)

Enter a clear, natural language description:

“I want to build a real-time food delivery app that connects customers, restaurants, and drivers, with live order tracking, secure payments, and user ratings.”

Optional additions:

  • Select Architecture StrategyHigh Availability

  • Choose Cloud ProviderAzure

Click Draft by AI to let the system refine your idea into a structured architecture outline.

Step 3: Clarify Infrastructure Needs

Click Analyze Infrastructure Needs.
The AI will prompt you with intelligent questions such as:

  • What database type do you prefer? (e.g., Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL)

  • Should the backend scale automatically?

  • Are there strict security or compliance requirements?

If unsure, click Suggest by AI—the tool recommends the optimal choice based on your strategy and use case.

Step 4: Generate the Diagram

Click Generate Cloud Architecture.
Wait a few seconds as the AI processes your inputs and assembles a polished, industry-standard diagram using official Azure icons and best practices.

Your final diagram appears in the Diagram tab—ready for review and editing.

Step 5: Edit & Refine

To change a symbol to another symbol

  • Zoom in to examine components.

  • Click any component (e.g., “Web App”) → see a list of alternatives → choose a different service.

  • Use natural language to make bulk changes:

    “Add a CDN for static assets”
    “Set up auto-scaling for the API tier”

Step 6: Export & Share

  • Click Export SVG to download a crisp, scalable vector file.

  • Use the Share button to generate a secure link for team members or stakeholders.

  • Save your project to return later.

Step 7: Generate a Professional Report

Switch to the Report tab:

  • Choose a report template (e.g., Architecture OverviewSecurity & ComplianceCost & Scalability).

  • Click Generate Report → AI compiles a detailed, well-structured document.

  • Export as Markdown (ideal for GitHub or documentation sites) or PDF (perfect for presentations or board reviews).


💡 Tips for Best Results

  1. Be Specific in Your Input
    Instead of: “I want a cloud app”
    Try: “A scalable food delivery app with real-time tracking, payment processing via Stripe, and driver dispatch using geolocation.”

  2. Use the Right Strategy

    • Start with Low Cost / MVP for early validation.

    • Upgrade to Enterprise Grade when moving to production.

  3. Compare Providers
    Generate the same idea for AWSAzure, and GCP—then compare cost, scalability, and integration patterns.

  4. Iterate with Confidence
    If the output isn’t perfect, refine your description or use natural language edits. The tool is designed for rapid iteration.

  5. Collaborate Early
    Share your project with developers, product managers, or security teams early in the design phase to gather feedback and avoid rework.
