Getting information about a resource

Written by

Updated at August 26, 2025
Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your resource.
  2. Select Cloud CDN.
  3. Select a CDN resource.
  4. The Overview page will show the resource details.

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 description of the CLI command to get information about a resource:

    yc cdn resource get --help
    
  2. Get information about the resource by specifying its ID or name:

    yc cdn resource get <resource_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: bc8v43fzihmv********
    folder_id: b1ggmp8es27t********
    cname: cdn-res-group.test.com
    created_at: "2023-10-25T11:18:13.630839Z"
    updated_at: "2023-10-25T11:18:13.630858Z"
    active: true
    options:
      edge_cache_settings:
        enabled: true
        default_value: "345600"
      query_params_options:
        ignore_query_string:
          enabled: true
          value: true
      stale:
        enabled: true
        value:
        - error
        - updating
    origin_group_id: "27272********"

      status: READY
    

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.

To get information about a resource using Terraform:

  1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_cdn_resource" "my_resource" {
      resource_id = "<resource_ID>"
    }
    
    output "resource_active" {
      value = data.yandex_cdn_resource.my_resource.active
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_cdn_resource": Description of the CDN resource as a data source:
      • resource_id: Resource ID.
    • output "resource_active": Output variable that shows whether the CDN resource is active:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace active with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_cdn_resource data source parameters, see the relevant provider documentation.

  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. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

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

    Terraform will create the required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    resource_active = true
    

To get detailed information about a resource, use the get REST API method for the Resource resource or the ResourceService/Get gRPC API call.

Getting the domain name of a Cloud CDN providerGetting the domain name of a Cloud CDN provider

Management console
Terraform
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your resource.
  2. Select Cloud CDN.
  3. Select the CDN resource you created.
  4. Under DNS settings on the Overview page, you will see a domain name in 328938ed********.a.yccdn.cloud.yandex.net or cl-msa87*****.edgecdn.ru format, depending on your CDN provider.

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files.

    data "yandex_cdn_resource" "my_resource" {
      resource_id = "<resource_ID>"
    }
    
    output "provider_cname" {
      value = data.yandex_cdn_resource.my_resource.provider_cname
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_cdn_resource": Description of the CDN resource as a data source:
      • resource_id: Resource ID.
    • output "provider_cname": Output variable that contains information about the domain name:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace provider_cname with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_cdn_resource data source properties, see this Terraform provider article.

  2. Get information about 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.

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    provider_cname = "328938ed********.a.yccdn.cloud.yandex.net"
