Create a Capacity Reservation group

You can use the following information to create a resource group for Capacity Reservations.

To create a group for Capacity Reservations

Use the create-group AWS 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.
