summary: Create Placement Group
description: Creates a placement group in which to launch instances. The strategy of the placement group determines how the instances are organized within the group. A cluster placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone that benefit from low network latency, high network throughput. A spread placement group places instances on distinct hardware. A partition placement group places groups of instances in different partitions, where instances in one partition do not share the same hardware with instances in another partition. A precision-time placement group places instances on supported hardware with direct access to high-precision time sources in Amazon Web Services infrastructure. For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

summary: Delete Placement Group
description: Deletes the specified placement group. You must terminate all instances in the placement group before you can delete the placement group. You cannot delete a placement group that is a parent of a cluster placement group. Delete the cluster placement groups first. For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Specifying the name of a shared placement group using the GroupNames parameter will result in an error. For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
