A method for arbitrarily grouping computer system resources includes receiving a resource policy to be applied to a group of resources associated with a user. The resource policy includes a unique user-defined label assigned to each resource of the group of resources. The method also includes identifying the group of resources among a plurality of resources using the user-defined label. Here, the plurality of resources is associated with the user and distributed across a plurality of different computing environments. For each identified resource of the group of resources, the method also includes applying the resource policy to a corresponding identified resource by accessing the respective computing environment where the corresponding identified resource resides.
