After creating a GPU cluster, you can change its name, description, or labels.

For information on how to add a VM to a GPU cluster, see Adding a VM to a GPU cluster.

CLI

Terraform

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

View the description of the CLI command for updating GPU cluster parameters:
```
yc compute gpu-cluster update --help
```
Get a list of GPU clusters in the default folder:
```
yc compute gpu-cluster list
```
Select the ID or NAME of the appropriate GPU cluster, e.g., first-gpu-cluster.

Change the GPU cluster parameters, e.g., rename it:

yc compute instance update first-gpu-cluster \
  --new-name updated-gpu-cluster

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 GPU cluster description:

Sample GPU cluster description in the Terraform configuration

...
resource "yandex_compute_gpu_cluster" "default" {
  name               = "gpu-cluster-name"
  interconnect_type  = "infiniband"
  zone               = "ru-central1-a"

  labels = {
    environment = "test"
  }
}
...

Apply the changes:
1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
2. 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.
```
3. 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.
4. Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the GPU cluster update using the management console or this CLI command:

yc compute gpu-cluster get <GPU_cluster_name>
