AWS EC2 User Groups
If you are looking for a way to manage your AWS EC2 instances, then you should consider using user groups. User groups can help you to control access to your instances, as well as manage permissions and instance settings.
What are user groups?
User groups are a way of categorizing users in AWS. You can use user groups to control access to your EC2 instances, as well as manage permissions and instance settings. Each user group can have its own set of permissions, instance settings, and access controls.
Why use user groups?
There are many benefits to using user groups. User groups can help you to:
– Control access to your instances: You can use user groups to control who has access to your EC2 instances. For example, you could create a user group for developers and another user group for testers.
– Manage permissions: You can use user groups to manage permissions for your EC2 instances. For example, you could grant developers the ability to create and launch instances, while granting testers the ability to terminate instances.
– Manage instance settings: You can use user groups to manage instance settings for your EC2 instances. For example, you could allow developers to change the instance type, while preventing testers from changing the instance type.
