-A _resource_ is an entity in AWS that you can work with. Resources are created by AWS services as you use the features of the service. Examples include an Amazon EC2 instance, an Amazon S3 bucket, or an AWS CloudFormation stack. Some resource types can contain customer data. All resource types have attributes or metadata to describe the resource, including a name, description, and the [Amazon resource name (ARN)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) that you use to uniquely reference a resource. Most [resource types also support tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html). Tags are custom metadata that you can attach to your resources for a variety of purposes, such as [cost allocation in your billing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/aws-tags.html), [security authorization using attribute-based access control](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_tags.html), or to support your other categorization needs.
