Updating a reserved instance pool

Written by

Improved by

Warning

Reserved instance pools are billable: you pay for the whole unused volume of reserved computing resources of VMs, GPU clusters, and software accelerated networks according to the Yandex Compute Cloud pricing policy. For more information, see Using reserved instance pools.

The reserved instance pool feature is at the Preview stage.

Note

You cannot reconfigure the pool's VMs.

To update a reserved instance pool:

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder the reserved instance pool is in.

  2. Go to Compute Cloud.

  3. In the left-hand panel, select VM reserve pools.

  4. In the pool row, click and select Edit.

  5. Edit the VM parameters:

    • Pool type.
    • Pool size.
    • If you need to expand the pool even when there are not enough free resources in the availability zone, enable When resources are absent. For more information, see Pending slots.
    • Under General information about the pool, change the name and description of the pool, add or delete the pool's labels.
  6. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the Yandex Cloud CLI command for updating a reserved instance pool:

    yc compute reserved-instance-pool update --help
    
  2. Get a list of reserved instance pools in the default folder:

    yc compute reserved-instance-pool list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------------+---------------+------+
    |          ID          |    NAME    |    ZONE ID    | SIZE |
    +----------------------+------------+---------------+------+
    | fv48qa9iiq19******** | test-pool1 | ru-central1-a |    1 |
    | fv42fbsrso94******** | test-pool2 | ru-central1-a |    1 |
    +----------------------+------------+---------------+------+
    
  3. Get detailed information about a reserved instance pool in the default folder by specifying pool name or ID:

    yc compute reserved-instance-pool get <pool_name_or_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: fv4vnl1ncbja********
    zone_id: ru-central1-a
    cloud_id: b1gia87mbaom********
    folder_id: b1gt6g8ht345********
    name: test-pool
    description: sample description
    created_at: "2025-08-12T07:58:57Z"
    platform_id: standard-v2
    resources_spec:
      memory: "2147483648"
      cores: "2"
      core_fraction: "100"
    gpu_settings: {}
    network_settings:
      type: STANDARD
    size: "2"
    committed_size: "2"
    slot_stats:
      total: "2"
      used: "1"
      available: "1"
    instance_stats:
      total: "1"
    
  4. Update a reserved instance pool in the default folder by specifying pool name or ID:

    yc compute reserved-instance-pool update <pool_name_or_ID> \
      --new-name <new_pool_name> \
      --description <pool_description> \
      --size <pool_size> \
      --allow-oversubscription \
      --allow-pending-slots
    

    Where:

    • --new-name: New pool name. This is an optional parameter. Follow these naming requirements:

      • 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.
    • --description: Pool description. This is an optional parameter.

    • --size: New number of slots per pool. This is an optional parameter.

    • --allow-oversubscription: Parameter enabling or disabling the oversubscription mode for the pool. In this mode, you can attach VMs beyond the pool capacity. This is an optional parameter.

      To enable the overcommitment mode, provide the --allow-oversubscription parameter in the command.

      To disable overcommitment where previously enabled, provide the --allow-oversubscription=false parameter in the command.

    • --allow-pending-slots: Parameter to enable pending slots when modifying pool size. This is an optional parameter. By default, when you change a pool’s size, the pending slots setting is disabled.

    Result:

    done (8s)
    id: fv4vnl1ncbja********
    zone_id: ru-central1-a
    cloud_id: b1gia87mbaom********
    folder_id: b1gt6g8ht345********
    name: new-pool
    description: the new description
    created_at: "2025-08-12T07:58:57Z"
    platform_id: standard-v2
    resources_spec:
      memory: "2147483648"
      cores: "2"
      core_fraction: "100"
    gpu_settings: {}
    network_settings:
      type: STANDARD
    size: "3"
    committed_size: "3"
    slot_stats:
      total: "3"
      used: "1"
      available: "2"
    instance_stats:
      total: "1"
    

    For more information about the yc compute reserved-instance-pool update command, see the Yandex Cloud CLI reference.

Use the update REST API method for the ReservedInstancePool resource or the ReservedInstancePoolService/Update gRPC API call.
