Note
Using Placement Groups is optional and not required. If using a placement group, Ribbon recommends using a cluster placement group so that all resources are within the same AZ to maximize performance.
Create a placement group in advance, or during Instance instantiation.
To create a placement group, perform the following procedure:
Navigate to the EC2 Management Console.
Select NETWORK & SECURITY > Placement Groups.
The Placement Groups page displays.- Click Create Placement Groups.
The Create Placement Groups window displays. - Enter a name for the placement group.
- Select a strategy for the placement group:
- Cluster placement group: this clusters instances in a single Availability Zone to provide low latency and higher network throughput.
- Spread placement group: this spreads instances across distinct hardware to improve redundancy.
- Click Create.
The following figure depicts the Create Placement Group page.
