Creating applications - AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry

Creating applications

You create applications to group resources and metadata. After you enter a name and description for your application, you can associate resources, attribute groups, and tags with it. You can also share your application with other accounts in your organization.

When you create an application, AppRegistry vends a user tag called the awsApplication tag on your behalf. You can add this tag to resources to help identify which resources are associated with an application.

myApplications in AWS Management Console

Use myApplications in the AWS Management Console to create a new application and organize its resources.

AWS recommends creating all of your new applications using myApplications in the AWS Management Console. This method ensures all of the resources added to the application are tagged with the awsApplication tag and provides you with the additional features and benefits of myApplications.
