Listing Instance Pools

Get a list of the instance pools in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compartment.

1. Open the navigation menu and select Compute. Under Compute, select Instance Pools.
  
  The Instance pools list page opens. All existing instance pools in the selected compartment are displayed in a list table.
2. To view the resources in a different compartment, use the Compartment filter to switch compartments.
  
  You must have permission to work in a compartment to see the resources in it. If you're not sure which compartment to use, contact an administrator. For more information, see Understanding Compartments.
Optionally, you can do the following from the list.
- Select an instance pool to view the details page.
- For an instance pool, from the the Actions menu , start, reboot, or terminate an instance pool.
Use the instance-pool list command and required parameters to list instance pools:
```
oci compute-management instance-pool list --from-json <file://path/to/file.json>
```
<file://path/to/file.json> is the path to a JSON file that defines the instance details. For information about how to generate an example of the JSON file, see Advanced JSON Options.

For a complete list of flags and variable options for the Compute service CLI commands, see the command line reference for Compute.
For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see SDKs and the CLI.
