Where can I view mappings between AWS resources?

Previously, I saw a mapping table between resources within AWS. For example, a simple table had 4 columns

AWS Service, Resource Type Value, Relationship, Related Resource

  • X is contained in Y
  • X is associated with C
  • V contains R

Something like this. Where is this mapping table located? I saw a web page hosted by AWS at least a week ago with this simplified relationship mapping.

There are some third-party products that can provide visualization of your AWS resources.

The closest capability of this within AWS is the AWS Config service. It can show the relationships between resources, such as:

  • Instance is in Subnet X
  • Navigate to Subnet X
  • View all instances in the subnet
  • View security groups associated with an instance

AWS Config relationships

It can also show the history of the resource (eg start, stop, configuration changes).
