Defining applications using AWS resources
Amazon DevOps Guru groups the resources that are in the coverage boundary that specifies which
resources it analyzes for operational insights. The resources are grouped by resources in
AWS CloudFormation stacks or by resources with tags. You choose the stacks or tags when you set up DevOps Guru.
You can also update the stacks or tags later. We recommend that you think of your resource
groups as applications. For example, you might have all resources that you use for a
monitoring application defined in one stack. Or you might add the same tag to all the
resources that you use in a database application. the boundary that defines which resources
DevOps Guru analyzes. All the resources in the collection are inside this boundary. Any resources
in your account that are not in your resource collection are outside the boundary and are
not analyzed. For more
information about the supported services and resources, see

You can define your coverage boundary that contains the resources in your applications three ways.
Specify that all supported AWS resources in your AWS account and Region. This makes your account and Region your resource boundary. With this option, DevOps Guru analyzes every supported resource in your account and Region. All resources that are in one stack are grouped into an application. Any resources that are not in a stack are grouped into their own application.
Use AWS CloudFormation stacks to specify the resources in your applications. A stack contains resources that are generated using AWS CloudFormation. In DevOps Guru, you choose stacks in your account. The resources you in each stack you choose are grouped into an application. All resources in the stacks are analyzed by DevOps Guru for insights.
Use AWS tags to specify the resources in your applications. An AWS tag contains a key and a value. In DevOps Guru, choose one tag key and optionally choose one or more values that are paired with that key. You can use the values to group your resources into applications.
