Resource Groups

A Resource Group is a scoping boundary for the Cluster Panel: it pools a set of compute-node CPU cores, datastores, networks, and PCI/platform devices together, along with its own CPU pinning and overcommit settings. Instances are deployed against a resource group and draw their CPU, memory, and storage capacity from whatever has been assigned to it — grouping infrastructure this way lets you carve a cluster into isolated capacity pools (for example, by team, tenant, or workload type).

For specific tasks, see Create Resource Group and Edit Resource Group under this section.

Draft — needs screenshots. This section hasn't been through the docs-capture pipeline yet, so there are no screenshots. Steps are grounded in the current product code (routes and page components), not a live capture — verify against the running product once this section is captured.

Browsing resource groups​

The Resource Groups list shows every group in the cluster, with a Create Resource Group button above the table. Each row shows:

  • Name — links to the group's detail page.
  • Cores (used virtual / total real) — virtual cores currently allocated versus the real physical cores assigned to the group.
  • Memory (used / total) and Storage (used / total).
  • Storage Optimized — whether the group's datastores are storage-latency optimized.
  • CPU Pinning — whether physical cores are pinned (dedicated) to the group rather than shared/overcommitted.

Selecting one or more rows reveals a Delete selected action for bulk removal (see Deleting a resource group below).

Viewing a resource group's details​

Opening a group from the list lands on its detail page, which has its own tabs:

  • Overview — usage widgets for CPU cores, memory, and storage allocated to the group, plus a rack view of the physical nodes it draws from.
  • Instances — the instances currently deployed in this resource group.
  • Networks — the networks assigned to (or used by an instance in) this group.
  • Datastores — the datastores assigned to the group, each with its physical disk/rack layout.
  • PCI Devices — PCI devices assigned to the group.
  • Platform Devices — platform devices assigned to the group.

A Manage menu on the detail page links to Edit (see Edit Resource Group).

Deleting a resource group​

Deleting is an inline action, not a separate page — there's no dedicated "delete" route. From the Resource Groups list:

  • Use a row's action menu to Destroy a single group, or select multiple rows and use Delete selected to remove several at once.
  • Either path asks for confirmation before deleting, since the action can't be undone.
  • Deleting is blocked while the group is still in use by any instances, or if it's a reserved (system) resource group — the action is disabled in both cases.
