Placement Group

An EC2 Placement Group is an AWS construct that lets you influence how Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances are positioned on the underlying hardware. By creating a placement group with a strategy of cluster, spread, or partition, you can optimise for high-bandwidth, low-latency networking, reduce the risk of simultaneous hardware failures, or isolate groups of instances from one another. For full details, refer to the official AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/placement-groups.html
