Getting a list of instances in a group

Written by
Updated at October 17, 2024

After creating an instance group, you can get a list of instances in the group.

To get a list of instances:

  1. In the management console, open the folder with the appropriate instance group.
  2. Select Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Instance groups.
  4. Select the group you need.
  5. Go to the List of VMs tab.

If you do not 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.

  1. See the description of the CLI's get instance list command:

    yc compute instance-group list-instances --help

  2. Get a list of instance groups in the default folder:

    yc compute instance-group list

    Result:

    +----------------------+-----------------------+------+
|          ID          |         NAME          | SIZE |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
| amc65sbgfqeq******** | first-instance-group  |    2 |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+

  3. Select the group ID or NAME (for example, first-instance-group).

  4. Get information about the instance group:

    yc compute instance-group list-instances --name first-instance-group

Use the listInstances REST API method for the InstanceGroup resource or the InstanceGroupService/ListInstances gRPC API call.
