Deleting a WAF profile

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.

To delete the Yandex Smart Web Security WAF profile you created with the help of Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment describing the WAF profile.

   Example of a WAF profile description in the Terraform configuration

   # Declaring local variables
   locals {
     # In the basic set, rules of this paranoia level and below will be enabled
     waf_paranoia_level = 1
   
     # OWASP Core Ruleset identification
     ruleset_name    = "OWASP Core Ruleset"
     ruleset_version = "4.0.0"
     ruleset_id      = "OWASP_CRS_4_0_0"
     ruleset_type    = "CORE"
   }
   
   # OWASP Core Rule Set data source
   data "yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor" "source" {
     name    = local.ruleset_name
     version = local.ruleset_version
   }
   
   # WAF profile
   resource "yandex_sws_waf_profile" "default" {
     name = "waf-profile-owasp"
   
     # Rule set
     rule_set {
       action     = "DENY"
       is_enabled = true
       priority   = 1
   
       # Basic rule set
       core_rule_set {
         inbound_anomaly_score = 2
         paranoia_level        = local.waf_paranoia_level
         rule_set {
           name    = local.ruleset_name
           version = local.ruleset_version
           id      = local.ruleset_id
           type    = local.ruleset_type
         }
       }
     }
   
     # Enabling rules from the basic set if their paranoia level is not higher than the value defined in the waf_paranoia_level variable
     dynamic "rule" {
       for_each = [
         for rule in data.yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor.source.rules : rule
         if rule.paranoia_level <= local.waf_paranoia_level
       ]
       content {
         rule_id     = rule.value.id
         is_enabled  = true
         is_blocking = false
       }
     }
   }
   

2. Apply the changes:

   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.

You can check the deletion of the resources in the management console.

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