Patent number: 11977711Abstract: A resource tagging service allows resource tags to be created and associated with computing resources in a service provider network. The resource tags can be utilized to search, collect, filter, organize and otherwise manage computing resources in the service provider network having matching tags, and/or to perform other types of functionality. A resource groups service allows customers and/or other users of the service provider network to view and access collections of computing resources that share common resource tags and/or other attributes. Resource groups can also be evaluated in order to identify computing resources in a service provider network for which certain types of actions or other functionality is to be performed. Membership of resource groups can also be evaluated over time and inferences can be drawn from the membership and from operational information associated with the member computing resources.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brian Kahrs, Shawn Galen Truesdell, Raleigh Harrison Upshur, Asa Denton, David Whitney, Donley Ray P'Simer, Craig Andrew Noeldner
