Resource groups allow us to sort the cloud resources that are allocated to an Alibaba Cloud account into different groups. This feature allows us to manage the cloud resources in an efficient way. It also eliminates the complexity of authorizing and categorizing the cloud resources in a single Alibaba Cloud account. If unclassified cloud resources exist in our account, the resources are sorted into the default resource group.
In this blog, we are going to discuss how to work with Resource Grouping of Alibaba Cloud Resource Management Service and the options of Resource grouping such as Resources, Permissions and Settings..
Resource Group allows us to perform the following operations:
● Create resource groups to manage the cloud resources of our Alibaba Cloud account in various regions.
● Specify an administrator for each resource group. Each administrator manages the resources in the resource group for which they are responsible.
● View billing statements by resource group to facilitate cost allocation.
Step-1: In the Resource Management console, select “Resource Group” option available as shown in the below diagram.

Step-2: In the Resource Group console select “Create Resource Group” for creating a new resource group by providing “Resource Group Identifier” and “Display Name”.
