Managing cloud access policies

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 guides on the Terraform website or its mirror.

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

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

1. Get the ID of the access policy template without parameters.

2. Add the yandex_resource_manager_cloud_iam_policy_binding resource to the configuration:

   resource "yandex_resource_manager_cloud_iam_policy_binding" "policy" {
     cloud_id = "<cloud_ID>"
     access_policy_template_id = "<policy_template_ID>"
   }
   

   Where cloud_id is the cloud ID, and access_policy_template_id is the access policy template ID. This resource creates a policy template binding rather than assigning a role to a subject.

   For more information, see this provider guide.

3. Apply the configuration:

   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.

Use the bindAccessPolicy REST API method for the Cloud resource or the CloudService/BindAccessPolicy gRPC API call.

Use the listAccessPolicyBindings REST API method for the Cloud resource or the CloudService/ListAccessPolicyBindings gRPC API call.

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

1. In the configuration, locate the yandex_resource_manager_cloud_iam_policy_binding resource with the IDs of the policy template in access_policy_template_id and cloud in cloud_id.

2. Remove the section of that resource. The cloud resource itself should not be deleted.

3. Apply the configuration:

   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.

      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.

   Make sure the plan removes only the correct policy binding. These steps apply to the binding managed by the current Terraform configuration.

Use the unbindAccessPolicy REST API method for the Cloud resource or the CloudService/UnbindAccessPolicy gRPC API call.
