AWS user groups are communities of AWS users who meet regularly to share ideas, learn from each other, and explore new services and best practices. They are organized by regions and topics, and anyone can join or start a user group. User groups can also help you manage permissions for multiple users in your AWS account by attaching policies to the group. For example, you can create a user group for developers and give them access to AWS services related to coding, testing, and deployment. If you want to learn more about AWS user groups, you can visit https://www.aws.amazon.com/developer/community/usergroups/
