You can stop a resource by disabling end-user access to the content. To do this:

Management console

CLI

Terraform

API

In the management console, select the folder where your resource is located.
Select Cloud CDN.
Click the resource name.
In the top-right corner, click Edit.
Under Additional settings, disable the Enable access to content option.
Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

View the description of the CLI update resource command:
```
yc cdn resource update --help
```

Get a list of all resources in the default folder:

yc cdn resource list --format yaml

Disable end-user access to content by setting the --active flag to false:
```
yc cdn resource update <resource_ID> --active false
```
For more information about the yc cdn resource update command, see the CLI reference.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

Open the Terraform configuration file and add or edit the yandex_cdn_resource section by setting active = false.

An example of describing a CDN resource in the Terraform configuration

resource "yandex_cdn_resource" "my_resource" {
    cname               = "cdn1.yandex-example.ru"
    active              = false
    origin_protocol     = "https"
    secondary_hostnames = ["cdn-example-1.yandex.ru", "cdn-example-2.yandex.ru"]
    origin_group_id     = yandex_cdn_origin_group.my_group.id
    ...
    options {
      edge_cache_settings = "345600"
      ignore_cookie       = true
      ...
    }
}

For more information about the yandex_cdn_resource parameters in Terraform, see the relevant provider documentation.

In the command line, go to the folder with the Terraform configuration file.
Check the configuration using this command:
```
terraform validate
```
If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
Run this command:
```
terraform plan
```
The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.
Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
Confirm the changes: type yes into the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the changes to the CDN resource using the management console or this CLI command:
```
yc cdn resource list
```

Use the update REST API method for the Resource resource or the ResourceService/Update gRPC API call.
