Deleting a security profile

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.

1. See the description of the CLI command for deleting a security profile:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete --help
   

2. To view a list of current security profiles in the default folder, run this command:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   |          ID          |       NAME        |       CREATED       | DEFAULT ACTION | CAPTCHA ID | RULES COUNT |
   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   | fev3s055oq64******** | my-new-profile    | 2024-08-05 06:57:18 | DENY           |            |           1 |
   | fevlqk8vei9p******** | my-sample-profile | 2024-08-05 06:57:28 | DENY           |            |           2 |
   +----------------------+-------------------+---------------------+----------------+------------+-------------+
   

3. To delete a security profile, run this command, specifying the profile name or ID:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete <security_profile_name_or_ID>
   

4. To make sure the security profile is deleted, re-run this command:

   yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list
   

   Note

   Deleting a security profile may affect access to the virtual hosts it is connected to.

For more information about the yc smartwebsecurity security-profile delete 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 Yandex Smart Web Security profile created with Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section describing the profile.

   Example of a security profile description in the Terraform configuration

   resource "yandex_sws_security_profile" "demo-profile-simple" {
     name                             = "<security_profile_name>"
     default_action                   = "DENY"
     captcha_id                       = "<CAPTCHA_ID>"
     advanced_rate_limiter_profile_id = "<ARL_profile_ID>"
   
     # Smart Protection rule
     security_rule {
       name     = "smart-protection"
       priority = 99999
   
       smart_protection {
         mode = "API"
       }
     }
   
     # Basic rule
     security_rule {
       name = "base-rule-geo"
       priority = 100000
       rule_condition {
         action = "ALLOW"
         condition {
           source_ip {
             geo_ip_match {
               locations = ["ru", "kz"]
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   
     # WAF profile rule
     security_rule {
       name     = "waf"
       priority = 88888
   
       waf {
         mode           = "API"
         waf_profile_id = "<WAF_profile_ID>"
       }
     }
   }
   

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 deletion of the resources using the management console or this CLI command:

yc smartwebsecurity security-profile list

Use the delete REST API method for the SecurityProfile resource or the SecurityProfileService/Delete gRPC API call.
