EC2.Client.create_placement_group(**kwargs)¶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.
For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .A name for the placement group. Must be unique within the scope of your account for the Region.
Constraints: Up to 255 ASCII characters
partition .The tags to apply to the new placement group.
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.
Note
The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.
The type of resource to tag on creation.
The tags to apply to the resource.
Describes a tag.
The key of the tag.
Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .
The value of the tag.
Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.
