Aggregated Resources in Diagrams

[ConnorKirk]

Feature name Aggregated Resources in Diagrams

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes a diagram has many resources of a similar type. These clutter the diagram, making it hard to read and work with, whilst also conveying little additional information. In the context of the diagram, these could be considered a single component. Today, users need to export the diagram and manually consolidate these resources to achieve this.

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented Add the ability to group resources of the same resource type together (e.g. EC2::Instance, or S3::Bucket) in a diagram.

Describe the value this feature will add to AWS Perspective This would assist users working with complex AWS estates. Diagrams could be simpler, and more clear to understand.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context This feature needs a lot of design still. Some unknown questions might be:

• How should relationships of an aggregated resource type to another resource be represented?
• How should this be activated by the user? Should they be able to select resources to group together?
