Creating a group of dedicated hosts
You can create a group of dedicated hosts solely for your VMs in Yandex Cloud.
By default, a cloud has a zero quota for using dedicated hosts. To change the quota, contact support.
To create a group of dedicated hosts:
-
In the management console, select the folder you want to create your dedicated host group in.
-
In the list of services, select Compute Cloud.
-
In the left-hand panel, click and select Dedicated host groups.
-
At the top right, click Create host group.
-
Enter the name and description of the dedicated host group. The naming requirements are as follows:
- Length: between 3 and 63 characters.
- It can only contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.
-
Optionally, add a label to the dedicated host group.
-
Select an availability zone for the dedicated host group.
-
Select the host type.
-
Specify the number of dedicated hosts in the group.
-
Click Create.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. 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 --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
