# Resource Groups Group

Resource Groups Group in AWS represents a collection of AWS resources that are grouped together for easier management and organization. Using this resource, you can define logical groupings based on tags or CloudFormation stacks, making it simpler to apply automation, monitoring, and access control across multiple resources at once. It helps streamline operations by allowing you to manage related resources as a single unit.

```
aws.resourcegroups_group
```
