# metalcloud-cli vm-instance-group

multiple VM instances that serve the same purpose.

  get       Get details of a specific VM instance group
  create    Create a new VM instance group
  update    Update VM instance group configuration
  delete    Delete a VM instance group
  instances List instances within a VM instance group

Examples:
  metalcloud-cli vm-instance-group list 12345
  metalcloud-cli vmg get 12345 67890
