Updating a reserved instance pool
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:
-
In the management console
, select the folder the reserved instance pool is in. -
Go to Compute Cloud.
-
In the left-hand panel, select
VM reserve pools. -
In the pool row, click
and select Edit. -
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.
-
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.

See the description of the Yandex Cloud CLI command for updating a reserved instance pool:
yc compute reserved-instance-pool update --help -
