Create a placement group

You can create a placement group:

  • when creating a cloud server — the created server will be automatically added to the group;
  • or separately — you can add a cloud server to this group only when creating the server.

  1. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Cloud Servers.

  2. Open the Placement Groups tab.

  3. Click Create group.

  4. Enter the name of the group.

  5. Select a placement policy:

    • prefer different hosts (soft-anti-affinity) — the system will attempt to place servers on different hosts. If no suitable host is available when creating a server, it will be created on the same host;
    • require different hosts (anti-affinity) — servers in the group must be placed on different hosts. If we do not find a suitable host, the server will not be created.

  6. Click Create group.
