Navigating a dense VPC topology can be overwhelming when you need to see exactly how resources are linked. This video walks through how to use Lucid’s Cloud Accelerator and the connected deep formula to create a clear, visual map of every resource tied to a specific VPC. For full formula information, please refer to this documentation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to use the
connected deepformula to trace complex paths across non-container items. - How to customize resource highlights using specific icons and hover text for better clarity.
- How to duplicate and adapt rules to make specific VPCs stand out from the rest of your topology.
- Why conditional formatting is a more reliable method than filtering when you need to preserve the integrity of your connection lines.
⚙️ A note on the UI
This video was produced around 2024. While Lucidscale has become Cloud Accelerator and the interface has seen updates since then, the underlying logic for connection tracing and the formula syntax for cloud resources remain the same.
