Terraform
For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform
If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.
-
Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the fragment with the certificate description:
Sample certificate description
... resource "yandex_cm_certificate" "le-certificate" { name = "managed-certificate-for-dns" description = "this is a certificate for tls" domains = ["my-domain.ru"] managed { challenge_type = "DNS_CNAME" } } ...
-
Apply the changes:
-
In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
-
Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:
terraform validate
If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:
Success! The configuration is valid.
-
Run the command:
terraform plan
The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.
-
Apply the configuration changes:
terraform apply
-
Confirm the changes: type
yes
in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the certificate update and its configuration using the management console
