yandex_mdb_postgresql_cluster (Resource)

  • Example usage
  • Arguments & Attributes Reference
  • Import

Manages a PostgreSQL cluster within the Yandex Cloud. For more information, see the official documentation. How to connect to the DB. To connect, use port 6432. The port number is not configurable.

Warning

Historically, user and database blocks of the yandex_mdb_postgresql_cluster resource were used to manage users and databases of the PostgreSQL cluster. However, this approach has many disadvantages. In particular, adding and removing a resource from the terraform recipe worked wrong because terraform misleads the user about the planned changes. Now, the recommended way to manage databases and users is using yandex_mdb_postgresql_user and yandex_mdb_postgresql_database resources.
