Updating a cloud network

Written by

After creating a cloud network, you can change its name, description, and tags.

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.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for updating cloud network parameters:

    $ yc vpc network update --help

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

    $ yc vpc network list
+----------------------+----------------+
|          ID          |      NAME      |
+----------------------+----------------+
| enpavfmgapumnl7cqin8 | test-network-1 |
| enplom7a98s1t0lhass8 | default        |
+----------------------+----------------+

  3. Select the ID or NAME of the network you need.

  4. Change the parameters of the cloud network by specifying its name:

    $ yc vpc network update enpavfmgapumnl7cqin8 --new-name test-network-renamed
id: enpavfmgapumnl7cqin8
folder_id: b1g6ci08ma55klukmdjs
created_at: "2018-10-23T14:05:32Z"
name: test-network-renamed
description: My first network
labels:
  new_label: test_label

You can pass the ID and name as positional arguments, or you can use the --id and --name flags:

$ yc vpc network update --name test-network-1 --new-name test-network-renamed --labels new_label=test_label
$ yc vpc network update --id enpavfmgapumnl7cqin8 --new-name test-network-renamed --labels new_label=test_label

Examples

Changing a cloud network using its name

You can change a cloud network using its name instead of its ID:

$ yc vpc network update test-network-1 --new-name test-network-renamed --labels new_label=test_label
id: enpavfmgapumnl7cqin8
folder_id: b1g6ci08ma55klukmdjs
created_at: "2018-10-23T14:05:32Z"
name: test-network-renamed
description: My first network
labels:
  new_label: test_label
