Deleting a GitLab instance

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.

To delete a GitLab instance, run this command:

yc managed-gitlab instance delete <instance_name_or_ID>

You can request the instance ID or name with the list of instances in the folder.

Result:

done (3m14s)

For more information about this 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 relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

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

To delete a GitLab instance created using Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section describing the yandex_gitlab_instance resource:

   Example of a GitLab instance description in the Terraform configuration:

   resource "yandex_gitlab_instance" "my_gitlab_instance" {
     name                      = "gl-instance"
     resource_preset_id        = "s2.micro"
     disk_size                 = 100
     admin_login               = "gitlab-user"
     admin_email               = "gitlab-user@example.com"
     domain                    = "gitlab-terraform.gitlab.yandexcloud.net"
     subnet_id                 = "e9bsdv4iunrv********"
     approval_rules_id         = "BASIC"
     backup_retain_period_days = 7
     deletion_protection       = true
   }
   

2. Apply the changes:

   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.

You can check the updates using the management console or this CLI command:

yc managed-gitlab instance list

Use the Delete REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/Delete gRPC API call.
