Add a cloud server to a placement group

You can add a cloud server to a placement group only when creating a cloud server.

An existing server cannot be directly added to a placement group, but you can when creating a copy of the server add it to the group.

Add a cloud server to a group when creating a server⁠

Use the Create cloud server instruction.

Add an existing cloud server to the group⁠

An existing cloud server cannot be added to a group. Create a copy of the cloud server and add the server to the placement group when creating it.

1. If the cloud server has a local boot disk, create image from disk.

2. If the cloud server has a network boot disk, select one of the options:

   • create image from disk;
   • create disk snapshot;
   • or disconnect boot disk from the cloud server.

3. Use the Create cloud server instruction. As the source, select the image you created, a snapshot, or a disk you disconnected from the server.
