Create target group

To create a target group:

  1. In the management console, select the folder where the target group will be created.
  2. In the list of services, select Application Load Balancer.
  3. In the left menu, select Target groups.
  4. Click Create target group.
  5. Enter a name for the target group: test-target-group.
  6. Select three VMs from different availability zones.
  7. Click Create.

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. See the description of the CLI's create target group command:

    yc alb target-group create --help

  2. Run the command, specifying the subnet name and the resource's internal IP address in the parameters:

    yc alb target-group create <target group name> \
--target subnet-name=<subnet name>,ip-address=<internal IP address of VM 1> \
--target subnet-name=<subnet name>,ip-address=<internal IP address of VM 2> \
--target subnet-name=<subnet name>,ip-address=<internal IP address of VM 3>

    Command execution result:
