To create a group of dedicated hosts:
CLI
API
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>
command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using the --folder-name
or --folder-id
parameter.

View a list of available dedicated host types:
yc compute host-type list
Result:
+------------------------------+-------+--------------+-------+---------------+ | ID | CORES | MEMORY | DISKS | DISK SIZE | +------------------------------+-------+--------------+-------+---------------+ ... | intel-6338-c108-m704-n3200x6 | 108 | 755914244096 | 6 | 3198924357632 | +------------------------------+-------+--------------+-------+---------------+

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_group> \ --type <dedicated_host_type> \ --zone <availability_zone>
Where:
--fixed-size
: Number of dedicated hosts in the group.--type
: Type of dedicated hosts.--zone
: Availability zone to place your group in.
