Creating a placement group

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View a description of the CLI command to create a placement group:

   $ yc compute placement-group create --help
   

2. Create a placement group:

   $ yc compute placement-group create --spread-strategy --name my-group
   id: fd83bv4rnsna2sjkiq4s
   folder_id: b1g5kkhshgs9s0l4609d
   created_at: "2019-12-30T10:07:34Z"
   name: my-group
   spread_placement_strategy: {}
   

   This command creates a placement group with the following characteristics:

   • Named my-group.
   • Distributed placement strategy (spread).

3. Check that the placement group was added:

   $ yc compute placement-group list
   +----------------------+----------+----------+

   +----------------------+----------+----------+
   | fd83bv4rnsna2sjkiq4s | my-group | SPREAD   |
   +----------------------+----------+----------+
