## Component Groups

Component groups are different combinations of individual software components that meet different requirements.

A component group provides you with a fully-functioning software installation, regardless of which one you choose. By contrast, if you install individual software components (parts of installation profiles), you must take into account the dependencies between the components in order to ensure that the software installation is fully functional.
