Step 4. Configure a hostprovider

In order to configure the access to the cloud, follow the steps:

Select a hostprovider on the Hostproviders page. To do this, click a hostprovider name in the Name column. Alternatively, you can hover over the icon in the Concerns column and follow the link in the pop-up window that opens. The icon indicates the presence of critical errors in the current hostprovider configuration (e.g. mandatory fields).

In the next window, switch on the Show advanced toggle, fill in hostprovider parameters, and click Save. The fields highlighted in red are mandatory.

Configure a hostprovider

Hostprovider configuration parameters are given below:
- cloud:
  - Service account credentials — credentials of the Yandex Cloud service account in the JSON format:
    
    { "id": "<Identifier of the authorized key>", "service_account_id":"<Identifier of the service account>", "private_key":"<Private part of the authorized key>" }
    
    Authorized keys can be obtained for the service account according to the Yandex Cloud documentation. To create a new key, click Create new key → Create authorized key on the service account page.
    
    Define service account credentials
    
    Define service account credentials
    
    Note that you should convert a private part of the generated key to JSON format before copying its value to the Service account credentials field. To do this, use one of available instruments that replace line breaks or run the dumps method from the json Python library.

    The Service account credentials field is incompatible with OAuth, you should use only one of these fields for authentication.
  - Endpoint — a custom endpoint that is used to connect to a private Yandex Cloud installation. The default endpoint is api.cloud.yandex.net.
  - Root certificates — root certificates that are used to connect to a private Yandex Cloud installation.
  - OAuth — an OAuth token that can be obtained according to the Yandex Cloud documentation. The OAuth field is incompatible with Service account credentials, you should use only one of these fields for authentication.
  - Folder ID — a target folder for new virtual machines. Can be copied from the ID column in the folder list of the Yandex Cloud.

  - Image folders — identifiers of the folders that are used to store all organization images. Images can be obtained via the get-latest-from-family function. Enter each folder identifier separately — by clicking the icon in the Image folders node and editing the new list element Image folder [N] subsequently.
  - Subnet ID — a target subnet for new virtual machines. To get the Subnet ID value, open the Virtual Private Cloud service in the Yandex Cloud console, click the desired network in the Cloud networks section, and copy the value of the ID column from the row that contains the desired subnet in the list of subnets that opens.

  - Secondary subnet ID — an identifier of the additional subnet that is used to create a second network interface on virtual machines. The second subnet must be within the same VPC in the Yandex Cloud as the Subnet ID subnet.
  - Zone — a target availability zone (AZ) for new virtual machines. Every zone corresponds to the specific data center. Currently, the following zones are available: ru-central1-a, ru-central1-b, ru-central1-d. The ru-central1-c zone will be decommissioned. To get the Zone value, open the Virtual Private Cloud service in the Yandex Cloud console, click the desired network in the Cloud networks section, and copy the value of the Zone column from the row that contains the desired subnet in the list of subnets that opens.

- metadata:
  - Ssh keys — a set of public keys that will be used to create users during the Create hosts, Create users, and Create host → Init actions. Enter each key separately — by clicking the icon in the Ssh keys node and editing the new list element Ssh keys [N] subsequently. Each public key should start with ssh-rsa and end with username@hostname.
- default_host_settings:
  - Active operations limit timeout — a timeout that is activated when the quota of simultaneously performed operations is exceeded (resulting in errors returned by the Yandex Cloud gPRC). If empty, the timeout is not activated. If 0, the waiting time is unlimited. Any positive integer in the field equals the waiting time, during which the operation should move from the queue to the execution stage. Measured in seconds.
  - Labels — labels that will be used for all created VMs by default. The labels that are specified for VMs (during the Create hosts and Create host → Init actions) have a higher priority compared to the labels specified at the hostprovider level. Enter each label separately — by clicking Add property in the Labels node and editing the new list element Labels [N] subsequently. In the dialog that opens, enter a label key in Enter field name and a label value in Enter field value.
  - Security Group IDs — security group identifiers that will be used for all created VMs by default. The security groups that are specified for VMs (during the Create hosts and Create host → Init actions) have a higher priority compared to the groups specified at the hostprovider level. Enter each group separately — by clicking the icon in the Security Group IDs node and editing the new list element Security Group IDs [N] subsequently.
Return to the Hostproviders page. As a result, the icon stops being displayed in the Concerns column. The actions available for the configured hostprovider can be opened by clicking the icon in the Actions column.
