Written by

Yandex Cloud

To create an origin group:

Management console

CLI

Terraform

In the management console, select the folder where you wish to create a resource group.
Select Cloud CDN.
On the left-hand panel, select Origin groups.
Click Create origin group.
Enter the name of the group.
Configure Origins:
- Specify the Origin type: Server, Bucket, or L7 load balancer. For more information about types, see Origins and origin groups.
- Specify an origin.
- Select the Priority: Active or Backup. For more information about priorities, see Origin groups.
- Add other origins if needed.
Click Create.

If you don't have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Create an origin group in the default folder:

  --origin source=<origin IP address or domain name>,enabled=true \
  --origin source=<origin IP address or domain name>,enabled=true,backup=true

Where:

origin: The origin specification:
- source: The origin IP address or domain name.
- enabled: Flag indicating whether an origin is enabled.
- backup: Flag indicating whether an origin is a backup. For more information about priorities, see Origin groups.

Result:

id: "89018"
folder_id: b1g86q4m5vej8lkljme5
name: test-group
use_next: true
origins:
- id: "559295"
  origin_group_id: "89018"
  source: www.example2.com
  enabled: true
  backup: true
- id: "559294"
  origin_group_id: "89018"
  source: www.example1.com
  enabled: true

For more information about the yc cdn origin-group create command, see the CLI reference.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

Describe the properties of the yandex_cdn_origin_group resource in the configuration file:

Example configuration file structure:

provider "yandex" {
  token     = "<OAuth>"
  cloud_id  = "<cloud ID>"
  folder_id = "<folder ID>"
  zone      = "<default availability zone>"
}

resource "yandex_cdn_origin_group" "my_group" {
  name = "<group name>"
  use_next = true
  origin {
   source = "<origin 1 IP address or domain name>"
  }
  origin {
   source = "<origin 2 IP address or domain name>"
  }
  origin {
   source = "<origin 3 IP address or domain name>"
   backup = false
  }
}

For more information about resources that you can create with Terraform, see the provider documentation.

Make sure the settings are correct.
1. Using the command line, navigate to the folder that contains the up-to-date Terraform configuration files with an infrastructure plan.
2. Run the command:
```
terraform validate
```
  If there are errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point to them.
Create an origin group.
1. Run the command to view planned changes:
```
terraform plan
```
  If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.
2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:
  1. Run the command:
```
terraform apply
```
  2. Confirm the update of resources.
  3. Wait for the operation to complete.
