Create a Capacity Reservation group

To create a group for Capacity Reservations

Use the create-group Amazon CLI command. For name, provide a descriptive name for the group, and for configuration, specify two Type request parameters:

  • AWS::EC2::CapacityReservationPool to ensure that the resource group can be targeted for instance launches

  • AWS::ResourceGroups::Generic with allowed-resource-types set to AWS::EC2::CapacityReservation to ensure that the resource group accepts Capacity Reservations only

For example, the following command creates a group named MyCRGroup.

aws resource-groups create-group --name MyCRGroup --configuration '{"Type":"AWS::EC2::CapacityReservationPool"}' '{"Type":"AWS::ResourceGroups::Generic", "Parameters": [{"Name": "allowed-resource-types", "Values": ["AWS::EC2::CapacityReservation"]}]}'

The following shows example output.

        "Status": "UPDATE_COMPLETE",
        "Configuration": [
            {

            },
            {
                "Type": "AWS::ResourceGroups::Generic",
                "Parameters": [
                    {

                            "AWS::EC2::CapacityReservation"
                        ],
                        "Name": "allowed-resource-types"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "Group": {
        "GroupArn": "arn:aws:resource-groups:sa-east-1:123456789012:group/MyCRGroup",
        "Name": "MyCRGroup"
    }
