The application group feature allows you to add resources, such as servers, databases, load balancers, and storage, from different services and regions to the same application group. This allows you to manage resources based on your business requirements. For example, you can manage alert rules and view monitoring data by application group. This significantly improves the O&M efficiency.

Scenarios

After you purchase resources of multiple Alibaba Cloud services, you can add resources related to the same business, such as servers, databases, object storage, and caches, to the same application group. Then, you can manage alert rules and view monitoring data by application group, which simplifies management and improves monitoring efficiency.

Limits

  • Each Alibaba Cloud account can create up to 5,000 application groups.
  • You can add a maximum of 1,000 instances to an application group at a time. You can add a maximum of 3,000 instances of a service to an application group. The total number of instances that you can add to an application group is unlimited.

Precautions

The Kubernetes Synchronization Groups tab on the Application Groups page is no longer maintained. This may cause data inaccuracies.

We recommend that you use the Kubernetes container service monitoring feature provided by CloudMonitor to view the monitoring data of Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK). For more information, see Overview.
