Updating a container name

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

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

To find out the name or unique ID of a container, get a list of containers in the folder.

To rename the container, run this command:

yc serverless container \
  --name <container_name> \
  --new-name <new_container_name>

Result:

id: flh7r96juaqq********
folder_id: aoek6qrs8tjh********
created_at: "2021-08-17T07:53:10.219Z"
name: my-beta-container
description: my beta container description
url: https://flh7r96juaqq********.containers.yandexcloud.net/
status: ACTIVE

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

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

To update the name of a container created using Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the name field value in the yandex_serverless_container resource description:

   ...
   resource "yandex_serverless_container" "test-container" {
     name               = "my-conrainer"
     description        = "my first container with description"
     memory             = 256
     service_account_id = "ajecvjv1lv01********"
     image {
         url = "cr.yandex/yc/test-image:v1"
     }
   }
   ...
   

For more information about the yandex_serverless_container resource in Terraform, see the provider documentation.

1. Check the configuration using this command:

   terraform validate
   

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

   Success! The configuration is valid.
   

2. 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.

3. Apply the configuration changes:

   terraform apply
   

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

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

yc serverless container get <container_name_or_ID>

To rename a container, use the update REST API method for the Container resource or the ContainerService/Update gRPC API call.
