1. Create either a federation proxy or identity provider.

Resource Groups

What are Resource Groups?
In AWS, a resource is an entity that you can work with.
Examples include an Amazon EC2 instance, an AWS CloudFormation stack, or an Amazon S3 bucket.
If you work with multiple resources, you might find it useful to manage them as a group rather than move from one AWS service to another for each task.
If you manage large numbers of related resources, such as EC2 instances that make up an application layer, you likely need to perform bulk actions on these resources at one time.
Examples of bulk actions include: Applying updates or security patches, Upgrading applications ect
A resource group is a collection of AWS resources that are all in the same AWS region, and that match criteria provided in a query.
In Resource Groups, there are two types of queries on which you can build a group:
1. Tag-based
2. AWS CloudFormation stack-based
