Updating a desktop
Changing an image, data disk size, vCPU, vCPU or RAM share in desktop group settings will trigger the recreation of its desktops.
The system will recreate the boot disk using the image you previously selected for the desktop group. As a result, you will lose the software and updates installed there. These changes will not affect the data disk and user directory though.
To apply changes to a specific desktop, update it.
- In the management console, select the folder containing the desktop.
- From the list of services, select Cloud Desktop.
- In the left-hand panel, select Desktops.
- Next to the desktop you want to update, click and select Update.
- Confirm the update.
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.
