Do you feel difficult to keep up to date on all the frequent updates and announcements in the Microsoft Integration platform and Azure iPaaS?
Integration weekly update can be your solution. It’s a weekly update on the topics related to Integration – enterprise integration, robust & scalable messaging capabilities and Citizen Integration capabilities empowered by Microsoft platform to deliver value to the business.
I am always paying attention to requests from members of the community, and whenever I can, I update this stencil pack with requested shapes or functionalities. And this is one of these cases. One of the most common complaints about this stencil pack was/is text annotations. When you try to add a legend on the stencil, the text is in the middle of the icon, instead of underneath. And sometimes the text is white, which doesn’t help also.
Another recent aspect that came to my attention was the fact that was missing proper connector points, which make it hard to properly connect shapes in a diagram.
Of course, all of these you can manually fix by move the text to the bottom of each shape, change the color of the text and add connector points. But some of these tasks required a more deep knowledge of working with Visio and they are time-consuming. Luckily this work is being made, it may take a while since this package has more than 2000 shapes!
What’s new in this version?
Today I can announce that the first phase is done and the first file, and probably the most important, of this package is fixed:
Microsoft Azure (MIS Azure Stencils.vssx): This package contains stencils of Azure Services (original icons) that are available thru the Azure Portal.
The main goal of this release was to solve or improve the user experience regarding text annotations and connector points. In this version, the changes and additions are:
Text annotationsissue solved: This issue was solved on the stencils present on the Microsoft Azure (MIS Azure Stencils.vssx) file;
Proper connector points added: This improved feature was added on stencils present on the Microsoft Azure (MIS Azure Stencils.vssx) file;
Fixed some minor stencils layouts;
New shapes: New shapes added on Microsoft Azure (MIS Azure Stencils.vssx) and Microsoft Azure: Others (MIS Azure Others Stencils.vssx);

It was only 9 days ago that I released the latest minor version of this package, on that time the goal was to update the Security and Governance stencils to please my dear friend Nino Crudele. It was then that I notice that Microsoft did again a completely redesigned on several of the symbols and of course add new services so I decided that this was the time to not only refresh the package with the new icons but also but so extra work.
What’s new in this version?
With the growing number of stencils in this package, it was becoming hard to easily find or look for the right shape/representation. So once again based on some feedback I received from the community I decide to do so rearranging. I still have many things to do in this project in terms of organization but for now, these are the changes on this major release:
New shapes: The main additions are all the new shapes on the Azure Portal. New shapes added on:
MIS Azure Stencils: containing all the main Azure Portal Services
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils: all shapes related to AI or Machine Learning scenarios;
MIS IoT Devices Stencils: all shapes related to IoT scenarios:
Microsoft Integration Stencils;
MIS Azure Others Stencils: containing Azure Postal Services, features of the services and other interesting shapes;
MIS Azure Additional or Support Stencils: other shapes that may be interesting in supporting Azure diagrams and designs or presentations;
MIS Azure Stencils: Complete update to this category with many new shapes added and many shapes moved to MIS Azure Others Stencils file;
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils: Complete update to this category with many new shapes added and updating many others to there current stencils;
Add categories:
Microsoft Integration Stencils Old Version Stencils: containing all the oldest versions of stencils (obsolete, deprecated or replaced by a new shape)
Ordered by name: I recently started to sort shapes in alphabetical order. These are the categories already sorted:
MIS Azure Stencils;
MIS Azure Others Stencils;
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils;
Microsoft Integration Stencils Old Version Stencils;
MIS Security and Governance;
Text Annotations: This is a requested feature and I already started to work on it but it will get some time to finish it. For now, you will see text annotations on:
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils
SVG Files: Add new SVG files, and uniform the name of the files;

In October, I did a major rearrange and release of my stencils pack mainly because Microsoft redesigned many of the icons present in the Azure Portal, but and guess what? Microsoft didn’t stop it yet. And several of the symbols that suffer a redesigned they already have a new version. So I decide that it is time for me to update my stencils once again, but instead of spending a lot of time and release everything at the same time, like I did last time, I decided this time I will do it in small waves.
What’s new in this version?
The main goal of this release was to provide the new icons present in the Azure Portal and update existing ones. In this version, the changes and additions are:
New shapes: New shapes added on MIS Security and Governance, MIS Developer Stencils and MIS IoT Devices Stencils;
MIS Security and Governance: Complete update to this category with many unique symbols added and updating many others to there current stencils;
SVG Files: Add new SVG files, and uniform all the filenames;
