Domains are at the Preview stage.
A domain is a unique domain name you can use in Yandex Cloud services that require a confirmation of the user's domain rights.

To verify domain ownership, associate the domain with a valid Let's Encrypt certificate. Once you confirm your rights, no other user will be able to confirm their rights to a domain with the same domain name.

The period of domain ownership after its confirmation is one year.
After this period expires, you need to confirm the domain ownership again.
