Questions and answers

Start an instance group

Written by

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.

Management console

CLI

API

Open the folder page in the management console.
Select Compute Cloud.
On the left-hand panel, select Instance groups.
Select an instance group, click , and select Start group.
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.

View a description of the start instance group command in the CLI:
```
yc compute instance-group start --help
```

Get a list of instance groups in the default folder:

yc compute instance-group list
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
|          ID          |         NAME          | SIZE |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
| amc65sbgfqeqf00m02sc | first-instance-group  |    2 |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+

Select the group ID or NAME (for example, first-instance-group).
Start an instance group in the default folder:
```
yc compute instance-group start first-instance-group
```
Instance Groups will begin starting the group's virtual machines. When all instances are started, the group status switches to ACTIVE.

You can start an instance group using the API method start.

To request a list of available groups, use the method listInstances.
