Create resources:
-
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.
Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the management console
or this CLI command:yc dns zone get <zone_name>
-
To create a private DNS zone, use the create REST API method for the DnsZone resource or the DnsZoneService/Create gRPC API call.
