Deleting a cloud network

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

1. View the description of the CLI command for deleting cloud networks:

   yc vpc network delete --help
   

2. Get a list of all networks in the default folder:

   yc vpc network list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+----------------+
   |          ID          |      NAME      |
   +----------------------+----------------+
   | enpiuvhhd4t8******** | test-network-1 |
   | enplom7a98s1******** | default        |
   +----------------------+----------------+
   

3. Select the network ID or NAME.

4. Delete the network:

   yc vpc network delete test-network-1
   

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

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.

To delete a cloud network created with Terraform:

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the cloud network description.

   Example of a cloud network description in the Terraform configuration

   ...
   resource "yandex_vpc_network" "default" {
     name        = "network-1"
     description = "My first network"
     labels = {
       tf-label    = "tf-label-value"
       empty-label = ""
     }
   }
   ...
   

2. In the command line, navigate to the directory with the Terraform configuration file.

3. Check the configuration using this command:

   terraform validate
   

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

   Success! The configuration is valid.
   

4. 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.

5. Apply the configuration changes:

   terraform apply
   

6. Type yes and press Enter to confirm changes.

   You can check the update using the management console or these CLI commands:

   yc vpc network list
   

To delete a cloud network, use the delete REST API method for the Network resource or the NetworkService/Delete gRPC API call, and provide the ID of the cloud network to delete in the networkId request parameter.

To get the cloud network ID, use the list REST API method for the Network resource or the NetworkService/List gRPC API call and provide the folder ID in the folderId request parameter.

To learn how to find out the folder ID, see Getting the folder ID.
