Creating triggers that invoke Cloud Functions functions to stop a VM and send Telegram notifications

Written by
Updated at October 30, 2024

In this tutorial, you will create a serverless infrastructure that will stop running virtual machines when budget thresholds are exceeded and send Telegram notifications to the user.

The budget trigger will invoke the Cloud Functions function, and this function will stop the Compute Cloud virtual machines and send a message to the Yandex Message Queue queue.

The Message Queue trigger will provide the queued messages to the second Cloud Functions function, which will send Telegram notifications via a dedicated bot.

To deploy a project:

  1. Prepare your cloud.
  2. Create a budget.
  3. Create a Message Queue queue.
  4. Create a Cloud Functions function to be invoked by the budget trigger.
  5. Create a trigger for budgets.
  6. Register the Telegram bot.
  7. Create a Cloud Functions function to be invoked by the Message Queue budget trigger.
  8. Create a trigger for Message Queue.
  9. Create Compute Cloud VM instances.
  10. Make sure the trigger stops VMs and sends Telegram notifications.

Create all the specified Yandex Cloud resources in the same folder.

If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.

Prepare your cloud

Sign up for Yandex Cloud and create a billing account:

  1. Go to the management console and log in to Yandex Cloud or create an account if you do not have one yet.
  2. On the Yandex Cloud Billing page, make sure you have a billing account linked and it has the ACTIVE or TRIAL_ACTIVE status. If you do not have a billing account, create one.

If you have an active billing account, you can go to the cloud page to create or select a folder for your infrastructure to operate in.

      Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/YCVMBudgetInformerBot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.

Use this token to access the HTTP API:
715063****:AAGuj****-0VrIm7j9i****************
Keep your token secure and store it safely, it can be used by anyone to control your bot.

For a description of the Bot API, see this page: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api

  2. Get ChatID of the user the bot will be sending notifications to:

    1. Save the API token obtained in the previous step to the TELEGRAM_BOT_API_TOKEN environment variable:

      export TELEGRAM_BOT_API_TOKEN=<Telegram_API_token>

    2. Go to the yc-telegram-bot-with-trigger-for-budget/steps/6-register-telegram-bot directory and run the following command:

      go run .

      If required, pre-install the Go and telegram_bot packages.

      The command will run a Telegram bot that will return ChatID of the current user in response to any message.

    3. In Telegram, find the bot you created by username, e.g., YCVMBudgetInformerBot, and send any message to it.

      Result:

      59529*****

      Save the obtained ChatID. You will need it later.

    4. Return to the terminal and terminate the bot using the Ctrl + C keyboard shortcut.

To create a trigger for Message Queue, use the create method for the Trigger resource or the TriggerService/Create gRPC API call.

Create Compute Cloud VMs

  1. In the management console, select the folder to create your VM in.

  2. In the list of services, select Compute Cloud.

  3. In the left-hand panel, select Virtual machines.

  4. Click Create virtual machine.

  5. Under Boot disk image, select Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

  6. Under Location, select the ru-central1-b availability zone.

  7. Under Network settings:

    • In the Subnet field, select the sample-subnet-ru-central1-b subnet you created earlier.
    • In the Public IP field, select Auto.

  8. Under Access, specify the information required to access the VM:

    • In the Login field, enter a username, e.g., yc-user.

    • In the SSH key field, paste the contents of the public key file.

      You need to create a key pair for the SSH connection yourself. To learn how, see Connecting to a VM via SSH.

  9. Under General information:

    • Specify the VM name, target-instance-1.
    • In the Labels field, click Add label and enter target-for-stop:true. Click Enter to save the label.

  10. Click Create VM.

Create a virtual machine:

yc compute instance create \
  --name target-instance-1 \
  --labels target-for-stop=true \
  --zone ru-central1-b \
  --network-interface subnet-name=sample-subnet-ru-central1-b,nat-ip-version=ipv4 \
  --create-boot-disk image-folder-id=standard-images,image-family=ubuntu-2204-lts \
  --ssh-key ~/.ssh/<key_name>.pub

Where --ssh-key is the path to the public SSH key The yc-user user will be automatically created on the VM for this key.

For more information about the yc compute instance create command, see the CLI reference.

To create a VM, use the create REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/Create gRPC API call.

Similarly, create two more VM instances: target-instance-2 and target-instance-3. For the last VM, set the target-for-stop label to false.

Make sure the trigger stops VMs and sends Telegram notifications

Wait until the threshold values that you specified in the budget are reached. Make sure that when the budget thresholds are reached, the target-instance-1 and target-instance-2 virtual machines are stopped, and the Telegram bot sends you a budget trigger notification:

Budget trigger was triggered!

How to delete the resources you created

To stop paying for the resources you created:

  1. Delete the Cloud Functions triggers.
  2. Delete the Cloud Functions functions.
  3. Delete the VM instances.
  4. Delete the Message Queue queue.
  5. Delete the subnet, then delete the cloud network.
