Updating a DNS zone

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

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

To update a DNS zone:

1. View a description of the CLI update zone command:

   yc dns zone update --help
   

2. Change the visibility of the zone in the networks:

   yc dns zone update <zone_name_or_ID> --network-ids=<network_IDs_for_the_zone>,
   

   Where --network-ids refers to the IDs of the networks for the zone.

   Result:

   id: aet29qhara5j********
   folder_id: aoerb349v3h4********
   created_at: "2021-02-21T09:21:03.935Z"
   name: new-zone-name
   zone: staging.
   private_visibility:
     network_ids:
     - c645mh47vsc********
   

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To update a DNS zone created using Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the fragment with the DNS zone description.

   Example DNS zone description in the Terraform configuration

   resource "yandex_vpc_network" "foo" {}
   
   resource "yandex_dns_zone" "zone1" {
     name        = "my-public-zone"
     description = "Test public zone"
   
     labels = {
       label1 = "test-public"
     }
   
     zone = "test.example-public2.com."
   }
   

2. Check the configuration using this command:

   terraform validate
   

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

   Success! The configuration is valid.
   

3. Run this command:

   terraform plan
   

   The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.

4. Confirm the changes: type yes into the terminal and press Enter.

   You can make sure the DNS zone has been updated in the management console or via the CLI command below:

   yc dns zone get <zone_name>
   

To update a DNS zone, use the update REST API method for the DnsZone resource or the DnsZoneService/Update gRPC API call.
