New (SSM-)Resource Groups vs Classic Resource Groups, and basic inventory

Hello acaitr,

AWS Resource Groups and Classic Resource Groups are two separate products - see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/welcome.html#resource-groups-differences for a full list of differences. While AWS Resource Groups currently does not support cross-region groups, it for example has a public API and supports much more resource types than Classic resource groups.

Both Classic and AWS Resource Groups require at least one tag key set to search, they do not support the use case you are describing. I will take note of your request and we will consider it for future improvements of AWS Resource Groups.

Depending on your use case, AWS Config or AWS Systems Manager Inventory are able to accommodate what you are describing, but they both do not support all resource types.

Yes, Tag Editor does not yet support the stockholm region or new ELB variants. We do have those improvements in our near term roadmap, tough. I will update here as soon as it is launched.

Best,
Florian

Hello Florian,
THank you very much for this complete answer. I will do as possible with Config and SSM (that is indeed the solution I am studying, even it uses two services and is not exactly what I'm looking for), and we will wait for the next evolutions.

Thanks ! ;)

Last week, the new version of Tag Editor has been launched, which now also supports the Stockholm region.

Best,
Florian
