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 edit basic ARL profile settings:

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the yandex_sws_advanced_rate_limiter_profile description:

    # ARL profile
    
    resource "yandex_sws_advanced_rate_limiter_profile" "arl-profile" {
      name        = "<new_profile_name>"
      description = "<new_profile_description>"
    
      # Rule 1
    
      advanced_rate_limiter_rule {
        name        = "<rule_name>"
        priority    = <rule_priority>
        description = "<rule_description>"
        dry_run     = true
    
        static_quota {
          action = "DENY"
          limit  = <rule_limit>
          period = <rule_period>
          condition {
            request_uri {
              path {
                exact_match = "/api"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    For more information about the yandex_sws_advanced_rate_limiter_profile properties, see this Terraform provider article.

  2. Apply the changes:

    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.

    You can check the resource updates in the management console.

Use the update REST API method for the AdvancedRateLimiterProfile resource or the AdvancedRateLimiterProfile/Update gRPC API call.
