Creating Resource Groups

To create a resource group:

  1. Navigate to Management > Resources > Groups and click the New Group folder icon.
  2. Enter a name and description. Typically, the name will correspond to either the environment the resource participates in, the component that uses the resource group, or a combination of both, for example SIT, DB, or SIT-DB. Give a description that tells how you intend to use the resource to which this group is assigned.
  3. Select a type. Typically Static is used. If you select Dynamic, you can add conditions to direct the system to find and select a resource name to add to the group. This lets you use name patterns so that resources of certain naming conventions are dynamically added to the group.
  4. Once the resource group has been created, click the pencil icon to edit the group.
  5. Once you assign a group to a resource, you can add sub-resources. A sub-resource enables you to apply logical identifiers, or categories, within any given group. During deployment configuration, you can select a given sub-resource that the process will run on. To create a sub-resource, click the New Group folder icon beside the group for which you want to add the sub-resource.
