Summary

OS::Heat::ResourceGroup provides a way to create several instances of identically configured nested resource; resources within the group are identifiable with with their index. OS::Heat::ResourceGroup can only change number of resources in the group by changing the count property in the Heat template and perform a stack update of on the root stack. OS::Heat::AutoScalingGroup/Policy provides for a resource group that can change in size(scale) dynamically. There are some cloud applications that need to specify the exact resource(s) to add or remove from the resource group.
