Description

From a user's perspective, this method is quite confusing. What does this method actually return? Groups of IPs, groups of availability zones... What specifically?

In the TemplateOptions class, the getGroups() method lacks intent and should be aptly renamed to getSecurityGroups(). The method should be deprecated and replaced with the suggested method signature, and marked for removal in 2.0.
