Questions and answers

Creating a group of dedicated hosts

Written by

You can create a group of dedicated hosts that is intended solely for hosting your VMs in Yandex Cloud.

By default, the cloud has a zero quota for using dedicated hosts. To change the quota, contact technical support.

To create a group of dedicated hosts

CLI

API

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.

See the list of available dedicated host types:

yc compute host-type list

Result:

+---------------------+-------+--------------+
|         ID          | CORES |    MEMORY    |
+---------------------+-------+--------------+
| intel-6230-c66-m454 |    66 | 487478788096 |
+---------------------+-------+--------------+

Create a group of dedicated hosts of the selected type. A group may contain one or more hosts.

yc compute host-group create \
  --fixed-size <number of dedicated hosts in the group> \
  --type <type of dedicated hosts> \
  --zone <availability zone>

Where:

fixed-size: The number of dedicated hosts in the group.
type: The type of dedicated hosts.
zone is the availability zone to place the group in.

Result:

done (6s)
id: abcdefg1hi23gkl16dnf
folder_id: m4n56op78mev0cljderg
created_at: "2020-10-13T07:36:49Z"
zone_id: ru-central1-a
status: READY
type_id: intel-6230-c66-m454
maintenance_policy: RESTART
scale_policy:
  fixed_scale:
    size: "2"

Select the host type using the list method for the HostType resource.
Create a group of dedicated hosts using the create method for the HostGroup resource.
