Registering an account in Yandex Cloud
To work with most Yandex Cloud services, you need a billing account. The account stores information about the payer and payment details; however, Yandex Cloud does not debit funds from your bank account and does not invoice you until you switch to the paid version. While some services, such as Tracker or DataLens, do not require a billing account, if you still create one, you will get an initial grant that you can then use to pay for resources.
Under one Yandex account, all payers must be either residents of Russia or Kazakhstan or residents of other countries. You can learn more about billing accounts here.
New customers are entitled to a trial period. The trial period allows you to discover the features of the cloud infrastructure for free with some limitations. To fully use the resources, you need to switch to the paid version after your trial period ends.

-
Open the Yandex Cloud management console
. -
Log in to your Yandex ID or Yandex 360 account. If you do not have an account yet, sign up
and create your first cloud in the management console. If you use a social network profile to log in to Yandex, create a username and password . -
