Enabling and disabling an availability zone

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the command description:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer disable-zones --help
   

2. To start redistributing traffic, disable the availability zone and specify the deactivation time:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer disable-zones \
     <load_balancer_name_or_ID> \
     --zones <availability_zones>
     --duration <deactivation_time>
   

   Where:

   • <load_balancer_name_or_ID>: Load balancer ID or name.

   • --zones: Availability zones to disable, separated by commas.

   • --duration: Time from 1m to 72h when the zone will be disabled.

     After the specified time elapses, the zone will automatically return to its initial state (enabled) for the CLI and API. These settings will be applied without your intervention.

     If this parameter is not specified, the zone will remain disabled until you enable it manually.

   Here is an example:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer disable-zones \
     my-balancer \
     --zones ru-central1-a \
     --duration 1h
   

   Result:

   id: ds70q425egoe********
   name: my-balancer
   ...
   allocation_policy:
     locations:
       - zone_id: ru-central1-a
         subnet_id: e2lptlobccu6********
         zonal_shift_active: true
         zonal_traffic_disabled: true
       - zone_id: ru-central1-b
         subnet_id: e9bo5ir5prfi********
   ...
   

1. In the management console, select the folder with your load balancer.

2. From the list of services, select Application Load Balancer and then select the load balancer you need.

3. Under Allocation, next to the availability zone, view its status.

   If you set the deactivation duration, you will see the end time next to the zone.

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the command to enable an availability zone:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer enable-zones --help
   

2. Enable an availability zone:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer enable-zones \
     <load_balancer_name_or_ID> \
     --zones <availability_zones>
   

   Here is an example:

   yc application-load-balancer load-balancer enable-zones \
     my-balancer \
     --zones ru-central1-a
   

   Result:

   id: ds70q425egoe********
   name: my-balancer
   ...
   allocation_policy:
     locations:
       - zone_id: ru-central1-a
         subnet_id: e9bo5ir5prfi********
       - zone_id: ru-central1-b
         subnet_id: e2lptlobccu6******** 
   ...
