Deleting an Application Load Balancer target group

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

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

1. See the description of the CLI command for deleting a target group:

   yc alb target-group delete --help
   

2. Run this command:

   yc alb target-group delete <target_group_name_or_ID>
   

   To check whether the group has been deleted, get a list of target groups by running the command:

   yc alb target-group list
   

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 relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the part describing your target group.

   Sample target group description in the Terraform configuration:

   resource "yandex_alb_target_group" "foo" {
     name           = "<target_group_name>"
   
     target {
       subnet_id    = "<subnet_ID>"
       ip_address   = "<VM_1_internal_IP_address>"
     }
   
     target {
       subnet_id    = "<subnet_ID>"
       ip_address   = "<VM_2_internal_IP_address>"
     }
   
     target {
       subnet_id    = "<subnet_ID>"
       ip_address   = "<VM_3_internal_IP_address>"
     }
   }
   

   For detailed information about the yandex_alb_target_group resource parameters, see this Terraform provider guide.

2. Apply the changes:

   1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.

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

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

   You can check target group updates in the management console or using this CLI command:

   yc alb target-group list
   

   Timeouts

   The Terraform provider limits operations with Application Load Balancer target groups to 10 minutes.

   Operations in excess of this time will be interrupted.

   How do I modify these limits?

   Add the timeouts section to the target group description, e.g.:

   resource "yandex_alb_target_group" "<target_group_name>" {
     ...
     timeouts {
       create = "60m"
       update = "60m"
       delete = "60m"
     }
   }
   

Use the delete REST API method for the TargetGroup resource or the TargetGroupService/Delete gRPC API call.
