AWS Resource Groups - KnowHow(s) - Series 3

In this series, let us create AWS Resource Groups from AWS CLI as it will be useful automation and maintenance

In my AWS Account, I have couple of EC2 Instances and let us try to group EC2 resources by purpose using AWS Resource Groups Tag Based

Pre-requisite:

• AWS Account login and EC2, Resource Group creation/modification access

Getting Started:

• Create and take access to AWS CLI available instance 
• Create few EC2 instances(free-tier) with one tag value as below
• Name:<<>> 
• Domain:Purchase
• Env:QA
  

 Resource Group creation from CLI:

• Before creating AWS Resource Group, let us see the values and status of EC2 instances that are available for grouping

• TestInstances-AWSResourceGroupsDemo1 & 2 are created and retained and other Instance named ForRDSDemo is for RDS operations and let us see how ARG can group and update/delete these tags, as required

• Now create a group from AWS CLI against these EC2 instances

 

• Visualize the results

• Add in another "Resource Type" of resource with same Tag(key:value) and see those filtered for Resource Groups filter

• Visualize the newly added S3 bucket as well being recognized by the Resource Groups, created already

 

 

• Delete this Resource Group from AWS CLI
