Associating a Yandex Cloud Backup policy with a VM automatically

You can create a Yandex Compute Cloud virtual machine with an automatically linked backup policy based on a supported Cloud Backup image.

To do this, provide the script for installing the Cloud Backup agent and the ID of the required policy in the VM metadata. The system automatically associates the specified policy with the VM after the VM and the Cloud Backup agent are up and running.

You can create an infrastructure to automatically associate backup policies with VMs using the following tools:

• Yandex Cloud management console, CLI, and API: Use one of these methods to create your infrastructure step by step.
• Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources with the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example from the GitHub repository and then deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider.
