An Easier Way to Manage the List of Resources Returned by Your Queries Using a New Pagination Parameter in the Resource Groups Tagging API

Today, the Resource Groups Tagging API introduced a pagination parameter to the GetResources action that makes it easier for you to manage lists of resources returned by your queries. Using this parameter, you can list resources that are associated with specific tags or resource types, and limit result sets to a specific number per page. Previously, you could list resources only by the number of tags. With this release, you also can return all resources that meet your query criteria in a single call using the updated AWS CLI.
