Instance group allows your applications to gracefully handle increases in traffic as well as it reduces the cost when the need for the resource is lower.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting to learn this article I would recommend you to have a look at our previous blog on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.easydeploy.io\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>What is Instance Groups in Google Cloud Platform<\/strong>?<\/a>&#8221; to have a better understanding of Instance groups.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get into this article and learn about Creation of Instance groups in Google Compute Engine. Stay tuned here, we will keep publishing a lot more articles on Google Cloud.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Instance Group?<\/h2>\n<p>Instance group is nothing but a group of virtual machine instances managed as a single entity. You can manage groups of similar VMs having a similar life cycle as one unit and you can create two types of Instance group in Compute Engine.<\/p>\n<p>They are<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Managed instance group<\/li>\n<li>Unmanaged Instance group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instance group is the basis for Autoscaling group, Load balancers and Autohealing.<\/p>\n<h2>Overview<\/h2>\n<p>If you want your instances running at all the time and if any one of those instances goes down, then the instance group will automatically create another virtual machine based on the predefined instance template.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if you want to create an instance group then the first step is to create an instance template. Instance template is nothing but a specification from which you can create multiple virtual machines.<\/p>\n<p>Instance group will create machines based on an instance template.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating a instance template<\/h3>\n<p>The first step for instance groups is to create an instance template by specifying the machine types, Boot disk, configuring the network and enabling the firewall.<\/p>\n<p>For creating an instance template you need to select the instance templates from the navigation menu and then click on the create instance template option at the center of the console.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1353\" title=\"Instance template creation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easydeploy.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-24-21.26.08.png\" alt=\"Instance template creation\" width=\"726\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easydeploy.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-24-21.26.08.png 965w, https:\/\/www.easydeploy.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-24-21.26.08-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.easydeploy.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-24-21.26.08-768x356.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After clicking on the create button you will get the screen below for entering the specifications for an instance.
