- Organise resources by grouping related resources for easier management and monitoring.
- Simplify security and access control by applying policies and access controls to entire groups.
- Better manage the lifecycle of resources. You can deploy, update or delete all resources in a group simultaneously.
- Apply RABC to a resource group to manage permissions for all resources within it.
