Resource Group
CloudCreator supports a 'Resource Group' categorisation on all services. It can be used in the following ways:
- As a general purpose categorisation to associate groups of resources together. Some CloudCreator reports group and/or filter resources by Resource Group.
- To leverage CloudCreator’s automatic “ancillary services mapping”. This minimises data entry and maximises the benefit of entering category values. For more detail, see Ancillary Service Mapping.
Resource groups are applied at the resource level. The way they are applied differs by service, as described in the table below.
Service |
Description |
NZ services |
For New Zealand hosted services (excluding Azure Stack), each resource can be assigned a resource group value inside CloudCreator. ![]() |
AWS (offshore) |
AWS provides a 'tag' feature that lets you store your own 'attribute' information against each resource. This is the best place to store resource information. Early each day, CloudCreator loads resource tags with the key 'group'. Note:
|
Azure (offshore) Azure Stack |
The public cloud services, Azure and Azure Stack, provide a resource-level field called “Resource Group”. Currently CloudCreator only loads tags from Azure (offshore). A future release will also enable this ability for Azure Stack. Early each day, CloudCreator retrieves the contents of the field 'Resource Group'.
