Getting information about instances

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of available GitLab instances in the default folder, run this command:

yc managed-gitlab instance list

Result:

+----------------------+-------+-------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------------+---------+
|          ID          | NAME  |            DOMAIN             |     CREATED AT      |     UPDATED AT      | GITLAB VERSION | STATUS  |
+----------------------+-------+-------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------------+---------+
| c17gehgsk7gq******** | my-gl | domain.gitlab.yandexcloud.net | 2025-06-10 12:10:55 | 2025-06-10 12:10:55 | 17.11.2        | RUNNING |
+----------------------+-------+-------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------------+---------+

Where:

• ID: Instance ID.
• NAME: Instance name.
• DOMAIN: Instance address on the internet.
• CREATED AT: Date and time when the instance was created.
• UPDATED AT: Date and time when the instance was updated.
• GITLAB VERSION: GitLab version.
• STATUS: Instance status. Learn more about possible statuses here.

For more information about this command, see the CLI reference.

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

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 get information about a GitLab instance using Terraform:

1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

   data "yandex_gitlab_instance" "gitlab_instance_by_id" {
     id = "<instance_ID>"
   }
   
   output "instance_domain" {
     value = data.yandex_gitlab_instance.gitlab_instance_by_id.domain
   }
   

   Where:

   • data "yandex_gitlab_instance": GitLab instance description as a data source:
     • id: GitLab instance ID.
   • output "instance_domain": Output variable that contains information about the domain:
     • value: Return value.

   You can replace domain with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the gitlab_instance data source properties, see this Terraform provider article.

2. Apply the configuration:

   1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct 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
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

   4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      

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

   Terraform will apply the configuration and display output variables in the terminal. To check the results, run this command:

   terraform output
   

   Result:

   instance_domain = example.gitlab.yandexcloud.net
   

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