Instance Group

Function overview

Support is provided for binding multiple instances under the same cloud product to a single instance group, enabling the configuration of group-based alarm strategies and significantly improving alarm setup efficiency for numerous cloud product instances.

Create instance group

1. Log in to Baidu AI Cloud, select Baidu Cloud Monitor (BCM), and click "Cloud Product Monitor" followed by "Instance Group" in the left navigation bar to access the Instance Group List page.

2. Click the "Create Instance Group" button to access the Instance Group creation page.
3. Enter the instance group name, select the instance type and region, choose the instances, and click the "Save" button to complete instance group creation.

Note:
An instance can only belong to one instance group. When an instance is repeatedly added to different instance groups, it will belong to the most recently added instance group, and other instance groups will automatically remove this instance.
