Start an instance group
When an instance group is started, all its stopped instances are started. You can start a single instance for troubleshooting purposes, for example, but to enable automatic recovery and scaling, you need to start an entire group.
Warning
If an instance group is stopped by Yandex Cloud because it was blocked for failure to pay, the instance group can be started again only after the block is removed.
- Open the folder page in the management console.
- Select Compute Cloud.
- On the left-hand panel, select Instance groups.
- Select an instance group, click
- Confirm the action.
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.
