Combine elements
You can reduce complexity and declutter diagrams by combining elements. Combining elements enables you to focus on the overall architecture and relationships between groups of resources. For example, combine multiple S3 buckets or Cloud Storage buckets, or group several EC2 instances or Compute Engine VMs into a single element.
