Resource Group allows you to sort resources owned by your Alibaba Cloud account into groups. This simplifies the resource and permission management within your Alibaba Cloud account. You can group Simple Log Service projects based on your business requirements and configure different access permissions for different resource groups. This way, you can implement access control within each resource group.
Background information
Enterprise users may create multiple Alibaba Cloud accounts to isolate resources for different projects, subsidiaries, and departments. However, this makes it difficult for enterprise users to manage, monitor, and audit the resources of the Alibaba Cloud accounts in a centralized manner.
Simple Log Service allows users to create resource groups to classify resources in an Alibaba Cloud account based on business scenarios. This way, the users within an enterprise can use the resource groups to efficiently manage resources in their projects.
Limits
You can create resource groups only for projects.
A resource group can contain projects that reside in different regions. A project can belong to only one resource group.
You can change the resource group of a project only to a resource group that belongs to the same Alibaba Cloud account as the project.
Billing
You are not charged for resource groups.
