NAME VM::EC2::REST::placement_group - Placement groups

SYNOPSIS

        use VM::EC2 ':hpc'

METHODS

       Placement groups provide low latency and high-bandwidth connectivity between cluster
       instances within a single Availability Zone. Create a placement group and then launch
       cluster instances into it. Instances launched within a placement group participate in a
       full-bisection bandwidth cluster appropriate for HPC applications.

       Implemented:
        CreatePlacementGroup
        DeletePlacementGroup
        DescribePlacementGroups

   @groups = $ec2->describe_placement_groups(@group_names)
   @groups = $ec2->describe_placement_groups(\%filters)
   @groups = $ec2->describe_placement_groups(-group_name=>\@ids,-filter=>\%filters)
       This method will return information about cluster placement groups as a list of
       VM::EC2::PlacementGroup objects.

       Optional arguments:

        -group_name         -- Scalar or arrayref of placement group names.

        -filter             -- Tags and other filters to apply.

       The filters available are described fully at:
       http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-DescribePlacementGroups.html

           group-name
           state
           strategy

   $success = $ec2->create_placement_group($group_name)
   $success = $ec2->create_placement_group(-group_name=>$name,-strategy=>$strategy)
       Creates a placement group that cluster instances are launched into.

       Required arguments:
        -group_name          -- The name of the placement group to create

       Optional:
        -strategy            -- As of 2012-12-23, the only available option is 'cluster'
                                so the parameter defaults to that.

       Returns true on success.

   $success = $ec2->delete_placement_group($group_name)
   $success = $ec2->delete_placement_group(-group_name=>$group_name)
       Deletes a placement group from the account.

       Required arguments:
        -group_name          -- The name of the placement group to delete

       Returns true on success.
