Type Alias PostPlacementGroupResponses

Type Declaration

• id: number

  The placement group's ID. You need to provide it for all operations that affect it.

• is_compliant: boolean

  Whether all of the compute instances in your placement group are compliant. If true, all compute instances meet either the grouped-together or spread-apart model, which you determine through your selected placement_group_type. If false, a compute instance is out of this compliance. For example, assume you've set anti-affinity:local as your placement_group_type and your group already has three qualifying compute instances on separate hosts, to support the spread-apart model. If a fourth compute instance is assigned that's on the same host as one of the existing three, the placement group is non-compliant. Enforce compliance in your group by setting a placement_group_policy.

  📘

  Fixing compliance is not self-service. You need to wait for our assistance to physically move compute instances to make the group compliant again.

• label: string

  Filterable The unique name set for the placement group. A label has these constraints:

  • It needs to begin and end with an alphanumeric character.
  • It can only consist of alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_) or periods (.).

• members: { is_compliant: boolean; linode_id: number }[]

  An array of compute instances included in the placement group.

• placement_group_policy: "strict" | "flexible"

  How requests to add future compute instances to your placement group are handled, and whether it remains compliant:

  • strict. Don't assign a new compute instance if it breaks the grouped-together or spread-apart model set by the placement_group_type. Use this to ensure the placement group stays compliant (is_compliant: true).
  • flexible. Assign a new compute instance, even if it breaks the grouped-together or spread-apart model set by the placement_group_type. This makes the group non-compliant (is_compliant: false). You need to wait for Akamai to move the offending compute instance to make it compliant again, once the necessary capacity is available in the region. Offers flexibility to add future compute instances if compliance isn't an immediate concern.

  📘

  In rare cases, non-compliance can occur with a strict placement group if Akamai needs to failover or migrate your compute instances for maintenance. Fixing non-compliance for a strict placement group is prioritized over a flexible group.

• placement_group_type: "anti_affinity:local"

  Filterable, Read-only How compute instances are distributed in your placement group. A placement_group_type using anti-affinity (anti-affinity:local) places compute instances in separate hosts, but still in the same region. This best supports the spread-apart model for high availability. A placement_group_type using affinity places compute instances physically close together, possibly on the same host. This supports the grouped-together model for low-latency.

  📘

  Currently, only anti_affinity:local is available for placement_group_type.

• Readonlyregion: string

  Filterable, Read-only The region where the placement group was deployed.
