Call an API operation to create an Anti-DDoS Native 2.0 (Subscription) instance

Anti-DDoS Native does not provide its own API for creating instances. Use the CreateInstance operation from the BSS API (Alibaba Cloud Transactions and Bills Management API) instead. This topic covers the request parameters and sample requests for creating an Anti-DDoS Native 2.0 (Subscription) instance — either Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) for Small and Medium Enterprises or Anti-DDoS Native (Enterprise).

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

An Alibaba Cloud account with sufficient balance — fees are automatically deducted when CreateInstance is called
(International site users only) A credit control identity for your account. If you have not applied for one, contact your account manager

Background

The BSS API is a set of operations for managing Alibaba Cloud resources, including querying service prices, managing instances, and retrieving bills. For the full list of BSS API operations, see List of operations by function.

To call CreateInstance, follow the request syntax described in Request syntax and signature method V2 for RPC APIs.

Usage notes

Only Anti-DDoS Native 2.0 (Subscription) instances can be created via API. Supported editions: Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) for Small and Medium Enterprises and Enterprise.
Fees are automatically deducted from your account balance after a successful CreateInstance call. For pricing details, see Anti-DDoS Native 2.0 (Subscription).

Common request parameters

All CreateInstance requests for Anti-DDoS Native share the following parameters. Edition-specific configuration items are passed as Parameter.N.Code and Parameter.N.Value pairs.

`Action`	String	Yes	`CreateInstance`	Set to `CreateInstance`.
`ProductCode`	String	Yes	`ddos`	Service code for Anti-DDoS. Set to `ddos`.
`ProductType`	String	Yes	`ddos_originpre_public_cn`	Service type. Valid values: `ddos_originpre_public_cn` (China site, aliyun.com) or `ddos_ddosbgp_public_intl` (international site, alibabacloud.com).
`SubscriptionType`	String	Yes	`Subscription`	Billing method. Set to `Subscription`.
`Period`	Integer	Yes	`1`	Subscription duration in months. Valid values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24, 36.
`RenewalStatus`	String	No	`ManualRenewal`	Renewal method. Valid values: `ManualRenewal` (default) or `AutoRenewal`.
`RenewPeriod`	Integer	No	`1`	Auto-renewal period in months. Required when `RenewalStatus` is `AutoRenewal`.
`ClientToken`	String	No	`123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544****`	Client token for request idempotence. ASCII characters only, 64-character maximum. If omitted, the system uses the request ID as the token. For details, see How to ensure idempotence.
`Parameter.N.Code`	String	Yes	`edition`	Code for configuration item N. Pair with `Parameter.N.Value`. For example, `Parameter.1.Code` and `Parameter.1.Value` define the first configuration item.
`Parameter.N.Value`	String	Yes	`smb`	Value for configuration item N.

Create an Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) for Small and Medium Enterprises instance

Configuration items

Code	Type	Example	Description
`edition`	String	`smb`	Set to `smb` for Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) for Small and Medium Enterprises.
`internet_protocol`	String	`v4`	IP version. Valid values: `v4` (IPv4) or `v6` (IPv6).
`ip_qty`	Integer	`3`	Number of IP addresses to protect. Valid values: 1–29.
`mitigation_qty_monthly`	String	`2`	Mitigation plan. Set to `2` for the Insurance mitigation plan (two mitigation sessions per month).
`coverage`	String	`1_region`	Set to `1_region`. Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) instances protect assets in a single region only.
`clean_bandwidth`	Integer	`50`	Clean bandwidth in Mbit/s. Valid values: 50–1000, in multiples of 50.
`mitigation_analysis`	String	`off`	Set to `off`. Mitigation logs cannot be enabled for Anti-DDoS Native (SMB) instances.

Sample request
