inctl vm pool create​

Create a new VM pool.

Synopsis​

Create a new VM pool.

After creating the pool, it will need some time to become ready. You can check the status with: inctl vm pool list Pools become visible in the list command once they reach INITIALIZING, which can take 1-3 minutes.

You can specify:

  • Runtime
  • IntrinsicOS
  • tier (preset for pool size, e.g. how many VMs ready anticipated and maximum amount)
  • hardware template (which hardware to use for the VMs inside that pool)

Example fully specified: inctl vm pool create
--pool=usecase1
--tier=ad_hoc_single
--hwtemplate=default
--runtime=intrinsic.platform.20241108.RC00
--intrinsic-os=20241108.RC00
--org=<my-org>

Example pool using default values (current runtime & os + default tier & hwtemplate): inctl vm pool create
--pool=usecase2
--org=<my-org>
