IAmazonEC2.CreatePlacementGroup Method (CreatePlacementGroupRequest)

Creates a placement group in which to launch instances. The strategy of the placement group determines how the instances are organized within the group.

A cluster placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone that benefit from low network latency, high network throughput. A spread placement group places instances on distinct hardware. A partition placement group places groups of instances in different partitions, where instances in one partition do not share the same hardware with instances in another partition. A precision-time placement group places instances on supported hardware with direct access to high-precision time sources in Amazon Web Services infrastructure.

For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to CreatePlacementGroupAsync.
