Getting a list of VM instances in a group

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.

1. See the description of the CLI command for getting a list of VM instances:

   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        | STATUS | SIZE |
   +----------------------+----------------------+--------+------+
   | cl15b3mrkk88******** | first-instance-group | ACTIVE |    3 |
   +----------------------+----------------------+--------+------+
   

3. Select the ID or NAME of the group you need, e.g., 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.
