Creating a group of dedicated hosts

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 specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. 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 |
   +------------------------------+-------+--------------+-------+---------------+
   

2. 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.

   Result:
