Creating a Resource Group

Scenarios

If you use multiple cloud services, you can add all related resources, such as ECSs, BMSs, EVS disks, elastic IP addresses, bandwidths, and databases to the same resource group for easier management and O&M.

Restrictions

  • Each user can create up to 10 resource groups.
  • A resource group must contain 1 to 1000 cloud service resources.
  • The quotas of different resources in a resource group are as follows:
    • ECS: 1000
    • BMS: 500
    • EVS disk: 1000
    • VPC: 200 each for elastic IP addresses and bandwidth
    • RDS: 200 for each type of database
    • DMS: 200
    • DCS: 200
    • ELB: 200

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the upper left corner, select a region and project.
  3. Under Management & Deployment, select Cloud Eye.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Groups.
  5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
  6. Enter the group name and select an enterprise project.

    You are advised to associate the resource group with an enterprise project. Only users who have permission of the enterprise project can view and manage the associated resource group. In this way, permission assignment is more reasonable and refined. For details about how to create an enterprise project, see Creating an Enterprise Project.

    The enterprise project feature is available only in some regions.

  7. Select the target cloud service resources, and set Associate Enterprise Project.
    You are advised to associate an enterprise project. After an enterprise project is associated, resources added to or deleted from the enterprise project are automatically added to or deleted from the resource group. If resources are frequently added or deleted, you can improve the efficiency of maintaining resource groups.
    • You can search for ECSs and BMSs by name, ID, and private IP address. For other cloud services, you can search only by name and ID.
    • The Associate Enterprise Project feature is available only in some regions.

      When associating a resource group with an enterprise project, you can select only ECSs, EIPs, or bandwidths. After an enterprise project is associated with a resource group, you cannot perform operations on the resource group directly. To manage resources in the resource group, see Removing Resources from an Enterprise Project and Adding Resources to an Enterprise Project.

  8. Click Create.
