Scheduled instance group scaling

Written by

Updated at May 13, 2026

In this tutorial, you will create a Yandex Compute Cloud instance group with a scheduled scaling. A Yandex Cloud Functions function triggered by a timer will manage the instance group size.

You can use one of the following tools to configure instance group scaling:

  • Yandex Cloud management console, CLI, and API: Use one of these methods to create your infrastructure step by step.
  • Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources with the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
