Create a new VM instance group in an infrastructure

Synopsis¶

Create a new VM instance group in an infrastructure.

This command creates a new VM instance group with the specified configuration. The group will contain multiple VM instances of the same type and configuration, making it easier to manage and scale similar workloads.

ARGUMENTS: infrastructure_id The ID of the infrastructure where the group will be created vm_type_id The VM type ID defining CPU, memory, and other hardware specs disk_size_gb The disk size in GB for each VM instance in the group instance_count The number of VM instances to create in the group os_template_id Optional. The OS template ID for the VM instances

EXAMPLES:

Create a VM instance group with 3 instances using a specific OS template¶

metalcloud-cli vm-instance-group create 12345 vm-type-1 100 3 ubuntu-20.04

Create a VM instance group without specifying OS template¶

metalcloud-cli vmg new 12345 vm-type-small 50 2

Create a larger group for high-performance workloads¶

metalcloud-cli vm-group create 12345 vm-type-performance 500 10 centos-8

metalcloud-cli vm-instance-group create infrastructure_id vm_type_id disk_size_gb instance_count [os_template_id] [flags]
