Helps you visualise your Sceptre projects with Graphviz (DOT). Get started by running pip install sceptre-dot

Benefits

• Visualisation can be added as a documentation artefact to your project
• Having many explicit/implicit dependencies can slow down deployments. Use the generated dependency graph to quickly spot bottlenecks due to these dependencies.

Installation

Install graphviz for your operating system as per official instuctions.

Install this package in the same python interpreter (virtualenv) that Sceptre is installed so that its python library is already available: pip install sceptre-dot

Usage

In the same directory where you would normally invoke sceptre launch -y $YOUR_PATH, run:

sceptre-dot $YOUR_PATH > output.dot
fdp -Tpng output.dot -o output.png # use fdp engine for best results

If you can't or don't want to install graphviz, you can paste the outputted dot file in an online viewer like viz-js. (Be sure to choose the fdp engine)
