# Create a SageMaker HyperPod cluster on training plans using the SageMaker AI console
<a name="use-training-plan-for-hyperpod-creation-using-console"></a>

To create an SageMaker HyperPod cluster using training plans from the SageMaker AI console UI, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the SageMaker AI console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/).

1. In the left navigation pane, choose **Hyperpod**, and then **Create cluster**.

1. When configuring an instance group, you can select a plan that aligns with your compute capacity needs.

The form includes fields for instance group name, instance type, quantity, instance capacity (with options for on-demand and training plans), and a directory path for on-create lifecycle script.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/images/training-plans/tp-create-hyperpod-cluster.png)


Review and create your cluster. Instance groups using a training plan scale up to the specified target instance count when the training plan becomes `Active`, subject to available capacity. Thirty minutes before each Reserved Capacity period ends, the instance group begins scaling down to zero instances. This scaled-down state persists until the next Reserved Capacity period begins or the plan ends. Throughout this process, an healthy instance group maintains an `InService` status after its initial creation, regardless of the current instance count.
