Group - Amazon Resource Groups
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Group

A resource group that contains Amazon resources. You can assign resources to the group by associating either of the following elements with the group:

  • ResourceQuery - Use a resource query to specify a set of tag keys and values. All resources in the same Amazon Region and Amazon account that have those keys with the same values are included in the group. You can add a resource query when you create the group, or later by using the PutGroupConfiguration operation.

  • GroupConfiguration - Use a service configuration to associate the group with an Amazon service. The configuration specifies which resource types can be included in the group.
