Placement Group

A Placement Group in Amazon EC2 is a way to influence the placement of a group of interdependent instances to meet the needs of your workload. Placement Groups can increase the performance of your applications by enabling low-latency connectivity between instances. There are three types of placement groups: Cluster, Partition, and Spread, each providing different levels of networking performance and controls over which instances can be placed together. More information can be found in the official AWS documentation.
