Container Service for Kubernetes:List of operations by function

Last Updated:Dec 10, 2024
This product(CS/2015-12-15) OpenAPI adopts ROA Signature style. See signature details in Description of the signature mechanism. We have packaged SDKs for common programming languages for developers. Developers can directly call the OpenAPI of this product by downloading the SDK without paying attention to the technical details. If the existing SDK cannot meet the usage requirements, you can connect through the signature mechanism. It will take about 5 working days. Therefore, it is recommended to join our DingTalk service group (78410016550) and sign under the guidance of experts.
Before using the API, you need to prepare your identity account and access key (AccessKey) to effectively access the API through client tools (SDK, CLI, etc.). For details see getAccessKey.

API catalog

APITitleDescription
OpenAckServiceOpenAckServiceWhen you use Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) for the first time, you must activate ACK by using an Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user with the required permissions and complete ACK authorization.

Cluster

APITitleDescription
CreateClusterCreateClusterYou can call the CreateCluster operation to create a Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) cluster. ACK clusters include ACK managed clusters, ACK dedicated clusters, ACK Serverless clusters, ACK Edge clusters, ACK clusters that support sandboxed containers, and registered clusters. For more information about how to create different types of ACK clusters, see the following usage notes.
DeleteClusterDeleteClusterYou can call the DeleteCluster operation to delete a cluster and specify whether to delete or retain the relevant cluster resources. Before you delete a cluster, you must manually delete workloads in the cluster, such as Deployments, StatefulSets, Jobs, and CronJobs. Otherwise, you may fail to delete the cluster.
DescribeClustersV1DescribeClustersV1Queries the details about Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters of specified types or specifications within an account.

Queries the RBAC permissions that are granted to the current Resource Access Management (RAM) user or RAM role on an ACK cluster.
DescribeClusterLogsDescribeClusterLogsQueries the cluster log to help analyze cluster issues and locate the cause.
RunClusterCheckRunClusterCheckContainer Intelligence Service (CIS) provides a variety of cluster check capabilities to allow you to perform cluster update check, cluster migration check, component installation check, component update check, and node pool check. A precheck is automatically triggered before an update, migration, or installation is performed. You can perform changes only if the cluster passes the precheck. You can also manually call the RunClusterCheck operation to initiate cluster checks. We recommend that you periodically check and maintain your cluster to mitigate potential risks.
ListClusterChecksListClusterChecksYou can call the ListClusterChecks operation to query all the cluster check results of a cluster.

In addition, ACK Pro clusters provide you with enhanced reliability, security, and schedulability. ACK Pro clusters are covered by the SLA that supports compensation clauses. ACK Pro clusters are suitable for large-scale businesses that require high stability and security in production environments. We recommend that you migrate from ACK Basic clusters to ACK Pro clusters.
DescribeClusterUserKubeconfigDescribeClusterUserKubeconfigKubeconfig files store identity and authentication information that is used by clients to access Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters. To use a kubectl client to manage an ACK cluster, you need to use the corresponding kubeconfig file to connect to the ACK cluster. We recommend that you keep kubeconfig files confidential and revoke kubeconfig files that are not in use. This helps prevent data leaks caused by the disclosure of kubeconfig files.
DescribeSubaccountK8sClusterUserConfigDescribeSubaccountK8sClusterUserConfigQueries or issues the kubeconfig credentials of a Resource Access Management (RAM) user or RAM role of the account. If you are the permission manager of a Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) cluster, you can issue the kubeconfig credentials to a specific RAM user or RAM role of the account by using the Alibaba Cloud account. The kubeconfig credentials, which are used to connect to the ACK cluster, contain the identity information about the RAM user or RAM role.
