(Optional) Create a placement group

We recommended you launch all instances that use EFA in a cluster placement group to minimize the physical distance between them. Create a placement group for each compute node group where you plan to use EFA. See Placement groups for EC2 instances in AWS PCS to create a placement group for your compute node group.
