With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

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

To get the contents of a custom certificate using Terraform:

1. In the Terraform configuration file, describe the parameters of the resources you want to create:

   data "yandex_cm_certificate_content" "cert_by_id" {
     certificate_id = "<certificate_ID>"
   }
   
   output "certificate_chain" {
     value = data.yandex_cm_certificate_content.cert_by_id.certificates
   }
   
   output "certificate_key" {
     value     = data.yandex_cm_certificate_content.cert_by_id.private_key
     sensitive = true
   }
   

   Where:

   • data "yandex_cm_certificate_content": Description of the data source for the certificate contents:
     • certificate_id: Certificate ID.
   • output sections: certificate_chain output variables with a certificate chain and a certificate_key private key:
     • value: Returned value.
     • sensitive: Label data as sensitive.

   For more information about the yandex_cm_certificate_content data source parameters, see the provider documentation.

2. Create resources:

   1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

   Terraform will create all the required resources. To check the results, run these commands:

   • Get a certificate chain:

     terraform output certificate_chain
     

   • Get the private key value:

     terraform output -raw certificate_key
     

To get the certificate contents, use the get REST API method for the CertificateContent resource or the CertificateContentService/Get gRPC API call.
