Creating an origin group

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. If you have not created origin groups before, connect to the provider first:

   yc cdn provider activate --type gcore
   

2. View the description of the CLI command to create an origin group:

   yc cdn origin-group create --help
   

3. Create an origin group in the default folder:

   yc cdn origin-group create --name <origin_group_name> \
     --origin source=<origin_IP_address_or_domain_name>,enabled=true \
     --origin source=<origin_IP_address_or_domain_name>,enabled=true,backup=true
   

   Where --origin is the origin specification:

   • source: Origin IP address or domain name.
   • enabled: Flag showing whether the origin is enabled.
   • backup: Flag showing whether the origin as a backup one. For more information about priorities, see Origin groups.

   Result:

   id: "89018"
   folder_id: b1g86q4m5vej********
   name: test-group
   use_next: true
   origins:
   - id: "559295"
     origin_group_id: "89018"
     source: www.example2.com
     enabled: true
     backup: true
   - id: "559294"
     origin_group_id: "89018"
     source: www.example1.com
     enabled: true
   

   For more information about the yc cdn origin-group create command, see the CLI reference.

Make sure to activate the CDN provider before creating an origin group. You can activate it in the management console or using this CLI command:

yc cdn provider activate \
  --folder-id <folder_ID> \
  --type gcore

Where:

• --folder-id: ID of the folder where you want to activate the CDN provider.
• --type: Provider type. The only possible value is gcore.

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 its mirror.

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

1. Define the parameters of the yandex_cdn_origin_group resource in the configuration file.

   Here is an example of the configuration file structure:

   resource "yandex_cdn_origin_group" "my_group" {
     name = "<origin_group_name>"
     use_next = true
     origin {
      source = "<origin_1_IP_address_or_domain_name>"
     }
     origin {
      source = "<origin_2_IP_address_or_domain_name>"
     }
     origin {
      source = "<origin_3_IP_address_or_domain_name>"
      backup = false
     }
   }
   

   Where:

   • name: Origin group name.
   • use_next: Indicates whether to use the next origin on the list.
   • origin: Origin specification:
     • source: Origin IP address or domain name.
     • enabled: Flag showing whether the origin is enabled.
     • backup: Flag showing whether the origin as a backup one. For more information about priorities, see Origin groups.

   For more information about the resources you can create with Terraform, see this article.

2. Create the resources:

   1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

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

      terraform validate
      

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

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration.

   4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      

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

   Terraform will create all required resources. You can check the new CDN resource using the management console or this CLI command:

   yc cdn origin-group list
   

If you have not created any origin groups before, connect to the CDN provider. To do this, use the activate REST API method for the Provider resource or the ProviderService/Activate gRPC API call.

Use the create REST API method for the OriginGroup resource or the OriginGroupService/Create gRPC API call.
