In this tutorial, you will deploy an instance group with an autoscaling policy applied to manage extra load. You will place VMs in two availability zones and set up a Yandex Network Load Balancer to distribute load between them.

To configure an autoscaling instance group, you can use the following tools:

  • Management console, CLI, and API: Use the Yandex Cloud management console, CLI, or API to create your infrastructure step by step.
  • Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example from the GitHub repository and then deploy the infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
