AWS Groups

AWS group tags render architecture-style containers with headers, icons, and border styles. Examples include:

• <aws-cloud>
• <aws-account>
• <region>
• <vpc>
• <availability-zone>
• <public-subnet>
• <private-subnet>
• <security-group>
• <generic-group>

Every group tag requires a non-empty id. IDs must be unique among frame-like components so groups can be used as connection endpoints.

<aws-cloud id="cloud" title="AWS Cloud">
  <region id="region-apne1" title="ap-northeast-1">
    <vpc id="prod-vpc" title="Production VPC">
      ...
    </vpc>
  </region>
</aws-cloud>

Generic Group Icons

generic-group accepts icon-id, using the same catalog as <item>.

<generic-group id="network-topology" title="Network Topology" icon-id="104635">
  <item id="200036" />
</generic-group>

Text Width

Group header and item label width estimates count East Asian full-width characters as double-width so Japanese and other full-width labels stay aligned across Excalidraw, SVG, and PPTX.
