EC2 Placement Groups

You cannot control which AZ your Ec2 instances would get launched, usually. But with placement groups you can control, predefined strategies that AWS provided.

  • Partition:
  • Spread: Ensures the instances are not located in same physical hardware
    • Spread levels: Hosts (only on outposts) and Racks
  • Cluster: Group instances in a az, for low latency benefits
