Getting a list of instance groups

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface 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. See the description of the CLI command for using an instance group:

   yc compute instance-group --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 |
   +----------------------+-----------------------+------+
   

Use the list REST API method for the InstanceGroup resource or the InstanceGroupService/List gRPC API call.

To request a list of available instance groups, use the listInstances REST API method or the InstanceGroupService/ListInstances gRPC API call.
