AWS Resource Groups

Concept

With AWS Resource Groups you can keep the resources of the same project or task in one group. A group is usually made in two ways — from resources that share the same tag, or from the resources of a CloudFormation stack. A group works with resources in the same Region. Once you make a group, you can see its resources together, and with services such as Systems Manager you can act on the whole group at once. This makes it easy to see which resource belongs to which project, even when there are many resources.

Simple example

A separate shelf in the cupboard for each family member — it is easy to find whose things are where.

Why it’s needed

When hundreds of resources from many projects are together, it is hard to tell which belongs to whom.

Where it’s used

Seeing and managing all the resources of a “Shop website” project together in one group.

Resource Groups = separate shelves for your resources. Groups are usually made with tags.
