» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • resources - (Required) Compute resources that are allocated for the instance. The structure is documented below.

  • boot_disk - (Required) The boot disk for the instance. The structure is documented below.

  • network_interface - (Required) Networks to attach to the instance. This can be specified multiple times. The structure is documented below.


  • name - (Optional) Resource name.

  • description - (Optional) Description of the instance.

  • folder_id - (Optional) The ID of the folder that the resource belongs to. If it is not provided, the default provider folder is used.

  • labels - (Optional) A set of key/value label pairs to assign to the instance.

  • zone - (Optional) The availability zone where the virtual machine will be created. If it is not provided, the default provider folder is used.

  • hostname - (Optional) Host name for the instance. This field is used to generate the instance fqdn value. The host name must be unique within the network and region. If not specified, the host name will be equal to id of the instance and fqdn will be <id>.auto.internal. Otherwise FQDN will be <hostname>.<region_id>.internal.

  • metadata - (Optional) Metadata key/value pairs to make available from within the instance.

  • platform_id - (Optional) The type of virtual machine to create. The default is 'standard-v1'.

  • secondary_disk - (Optional) A list of disks to attach to the instance. The structure is documented below. Note: The allow_stopping_for_update property must be set to true in order to update this structure.

  • scheduling_policy - (Optional) Scheduling policy configuration. The structure is documented below.

  • service_account_id - (Optional) ID of the service account authorized for this instance.

  • allow_stopping_for_update - (Optional) If true, allows Terraform to stop the instance in order to update its properties. If you try to update a property that requires stopping the instance without setting this field, the update will fail.


The resources block supports:

  • cores - (Required) CPU cores for the instance.

  • memory - (Required) Memory size in GB.

  • core_fraction - (Optional) If provided, specifies baseline performance for a core as a percent.

The boot_disk block supports:

  • auto_delete - (Optional) Defines whether the disk will be auto-deleted when the instance is deleted. The default value is True.

  • device_name - (Optional) Name that can be used to access an attached disk.

  • mode - (Optional) Type of access to the disk resource. By default, a disk is attached in READ_WRITE mode.

  • disk_id - (Optional) The ID of the existing disk (such as those managed by yandex_compute_disk) to attach as a boot disk.

  • initialize_params - (Optional) Parameters for a new disk that will be created alongside the new instance. Either initialize_params or disk_id must be set. The structure is documented below.

The initialize_params block supports:

  • name - (Optional) Name of the boot disk.

  • description - (Optional) Description of the boot disk.

  • size - (Optional) Size of the disk in GB.

  • type - (Optional) Disk type.

  • image_id - (Optional) A disk image to initialize this disk from.

  • snapshot_id - (Optional) A snapshot to initialize this disk from.

The network_interface block supports:

  • subnet_id - (Required) ID of the subnet to attach this interface to. The subnet must exist in the same zone where this instance will be created.

  • ip_address - (Optional) The private IP address to assign to the instance. If empty, the address will be automatically assigned from the specified subnet.

  • ipv6 - (Optional) If true, allocate an IPv6 address for the interface. The address will be automatically assigned from the specified subnet.

  • ipv6_address - (Optional) The private IPv6 address to assign to the instance.

  • nat - (Optional) Provide a public address, for instance, to access the internet over NAT.

The secondary_disk block supports:

  • disk_id - (Required) ID of the disk that is attached to the instance.

  • auto_delete - (Optional) Whether the disk is auto-deleted when the instance is deleted. The default value is false.

  • device_name - (Optional) Name that can be used to access an attached disk under /dev/disk/by-id/.

  • mode - (Optional) Type of access to the disk resource. By default, a disk is attached in READ_WRITE mode.

The scheduling_policy block supports:

  • preemptible - (Optional) Specifies if the instance is preemptible. Defaults to false.
