made by the Instance Groups component on behalf of the user (for example, creating instances, adding them to load balancer target group, etc.). For more information, see Service accounts.
To get the service account ID, use a yandex.cloud.iam.v1.ServiceAccountService.List request.

status

enum (Status)

Status of the instance group.

• STATUS_UNSPECIFIED

• STARTING: Instance group is being started and will become active soon.

• ACTIVE: Instance group is active.
  In this state the group manages its instances and monitors their health,
  creating, deleting, stopping, updating and starting instances as needed.

  To stop the instance group, call yandex.cloud.compute.v1.instancegroup.InstanceGroupService.Stop.
  To pause the processes in the instance group, i.e. scaling, checking instances' health,
  auto-healing and updating them, without stopping the instances,
  call yandex.cloud.compute.v1.instancegroup.InstanceGroupService.PauseProcesses.

• STOPPING: Instance group is being stopped.
  Group's instances stop receiving traffic from the load balancer (if any) and are then stopped.

• STOPPED: Instance group is stopped.
  In this state the group cannot be updated and does not react to any changes made to its instances.
  To start the instance group, call yandex.cloud.compute.v1.instancegroup.InstanceGroupService.Start.

• DELETING: Instance group is being deleted.

• PAUSED: Instance group is paused.
  In this state all the processes regarding the group management, i.e. scaling, checking instances' health,
  auto-healing and updating them, are paused. The instances that were running prior to pausing the group, however,
  may still be running.

  To resume the processes in the instance group,
  call yandex.cloud.compute.v1.instancegroup.InstanceGroupService.ResumeProcesses.
  The group status will change to ACTIVE.
