Creating a Cluster Placement Group

Create a cluster placement group in which you can colocate resources to support low-latency networking use cases.

    1. On the Cluster placement groups list page, select Create Cluster Placement Group. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Cluster Placement Groups.
    2. On the Placement Pre-check page, select an availability domain.
    3. (Optional) Specify the type or resources that you intend to add to the cluster placement group by doing one or more of the following:
      • To add Compute instances and instance pools, under compute, select general.
      • To add Block Volume resources, under block-storage, select volume.
    4. (Optional) If you have a unique code from the OCI account representative for the tenancy for large capacity cluster placement groups, select Advanced options, enter the code in the Unique code box.
    5. Select Next.
    6. On the Details page, enter a display name for the cluster placement group. You can't change this name later. Avoid entering confidential information.
    7. Enter a description for the cluster placement group. Avoid entering confidential information.
    8. Select the compartment for the cluster placement group. The selected availability domain is displayed.
    9. (Optional) To add tags, select Show advanced options.

      If you have permissions to create a resource, you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags.

      You can also assign tags to a resource after creating it.

    10. Select Next.
    11. On the Confirmation page, confirm the details of the new cluster placement group, and then select Create cluster placement group.

  • Use the create command and required parameters to create a cluster placement group:

    oci cpg cluster-placement-group create --availability-domain <availability_domain> --compartment-id <compartment_OCID> --description <description_of_the_cluster_placement_group> --type <type_of_cluster_placement_group>

    You must specify either the --capabilities or --placement-instruction. You can't update the capabilities supported by the cluster placement group after you create it.

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the CreateClusterPlacementGroup operation to create a cluster placement group.
