Creating and Managing Dynamic Groups

On Private Cloud Appliance, dynamic groups are groups of compute instances that meet the criteria defined for the group.

The membership of the dynamic group changes as instances newly satisfy the criteria or no longer satisfy the criteria. For example, if the members of a dynamic group are defined to be all instances in a specified compartment, the group membership changes when instances are created in or removed from that compartment.

Policies permit applications that are running on instances that are members of dynamic groups to make API calls to perform actions on service resources. Instances authenticate by using certificates that are assigned to each member instance.
