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

   yc cdn origin-group create --help
   

2. 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.

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

   resource "yandex_cdn_origin_group" "my_group" {
     name          = "<origin_group_name>"
     use_next      = true
     provider_type = "<CDN_provider>"
     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.
   • provider_type: CDN provider. This is an optional setting. The only possible value is ourcdn, the Yandex Cloud CDN provider.
   • 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 provider guide.

2. Create the resources:

   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.

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

   yc cdn origin-group list
   

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