Updating a DNS zone

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

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using 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 do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its 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.
