Updating an inbound DNS connection

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

1. See the description of the CLI command for updating an inbound DNS connection:

   yc dns inbound-endpoint update --help
   

2. Get a list of inbound DNS connections in the default folder:

   yc dns inbound-endpoint list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------+
   |          ID          |         NAME         | DESCRIPTION |      NETWORK ID      |      ADDRESS ID      |           CREATED AT           | DELETION PROTECTION |
   +----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------+
   | dns2n8fakpev******** | new-inbound-endpoint |             | enpg0adn0uv6******** | e2l8n7uup1j3******** | seconds:1783270956             | true                |
   |                      |                      |             |                      |                      | nanos:37000000                 |                     |
   | dns6h5q0h2ic******** | inbound-endpoint     |             | enpcfncr6uld******** | fl8not0e596n******** | seconds:1783270908             | false               |
   |                      |                      |             |                      |                      | nanos:107000000                |                     |
   +----------------------+----------------------+-------------+----------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------+
   

3. Update the inbound DNS connection by specifying its name or ID:

   yc dns inbound-endpoint update <DNS_connection_name_or_ID> \
     --new-name <new_connection_name> \
     --description '<connection_description>' \
     --labels <key>=<value>[,<key>=<value>] \
     --deletion-protection
   

   Where:

   • --new-name: New name for the inbound DNS connection. This is an optional setting.

   • --description: Connection description. This is an optional setting.

   • --labels: List of labels. This is an optional setting. You can specify one or more labels separated by commas in <key1>=<value1>,<key2>=<value2> format.

   • --deletion-protection: Enables protection of the inbound DNS connection from accidental deletion. This is an optional setting.

     If you want to disable deletion protection, provide --deletion-protection=false in the command

   Result:

   id: dns0uullmbcn********
   folder_id: b1gt6g8ht345********
   created_at: "2026-07-05T15:40:39.595Z"
   name: my-inbound-endpoint
   network_id: enpcfncr6uld********
   address: 192.168.3.3
   address_id: fl8not0e596n********
   status: AVAILABLE
   deletion_protection: true
   

   For more information about the yc dns inbound-endpoint update command, see the CLI reference.

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 guides on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

1. Specify the inbound DNS connection properties in the configuration file:

   resource "yandex_vpc_network" "my_net" {}
   
   resource "yandex_vpc_subnet" "subnet1" {
     network_id     = yandex_vpc_network.my_net.id
     v4_cidr_blocks = ["192.168.3.0/24"]
   }
   
   resource "yandex_vpc_address" "dns_address" {
     name        = "my-address"
     description = "inbound endpoint address"
   
     internal_ipv4_address {
       subnet_id = yandex_vpc_subnet.subnet1.id
       address   = "192.168.3.3"
     }
     deletion_protection = false
   }
   
   resource "yandex_dns_inbound_endpoint" "dns_connection" {
     name        = "my-inbound-endpoint"
     description = "DNS Inbound Endpoint"
   
     network_id  = yandex_vpc_network.my_net.id
     address_id  = yandex_vpc_address.dns_address.id
   
     deletion_protection = false
   }
   

   Where:

   • name: DNS connection name.
   • description: Connection description. This is an optional setting.
   • network_id: ID of the Virtual Private Cloud network where the inbound DNS connection was created.
   • address_id: ID of the reserved private IP address that will be used for the inbound DNS connection.
   • deletion_protection: Enables protection of the inbound DNS connection from accidental deletion. This is an optional setting.

2. Create the resources:

   1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.

   2. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

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

   Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the management console or this CLI command:

   yc dns inbound-endpoint get <DNS_connection_name>
   

To update an inbound DNS connection, use the update REST API method for the DnsInboundEndpoint resource or the DnsInboundEndpointService/Update gRPC API call.
