Instance Groups concepts

Instance Groups is a Compute Cloud component that allows you to create and manage VM instance groups.
Instance Groups can automatically identify and fix unhealthy instances in a group to ensure their optimal performance.

Warning

All operations in Instance Groups must be performed on behalf of a service account. For more information, see Access.

Each group consists of one or more instances of the same type. Group instances may reside in different availability zones and regions. You can read more about Nebius Israel availability zones here.

You can use Instance Groups to:

Simultaneously update all instances in a group.
Provide integration with Network Load Balancer and Application Load Balancer and evenly distribute workloads across instances.
Create automatically scaled instance groups.
Automatically recover a VM instance if an application fails.

When creating a group, you need to describe the following:

Template for deploying group instances.
Policies for scaling, deployment, and allocation.

An instance group created in a folder can be accessed by all VMs connected to the same cloud network. For more information about networking, see the Virtual Private Cloud documentation.
