Anycast Elastic IP Address:Integration overview

Versions

Online debugging

Anycast EIP supports online debugging in OpenAPI Explorer. Before you call API operations, make sure that you understand the API version, endpoint, and integration method.

In the left-side navigation pane of OpenAPI Explorer, select Anycast EIP and click the AllocateAnycastEipAddress operation. In the parameter configuration section, select a service location, such as China (Hangzhou), and specify request parameters including Bandwidth, ServiceLocation (required), InstanceChargeType, InternetChargeType, Name, Description, and ResourceGroupId. Then, click Send Request. The panel on the right displays documentation, call results, SDK samples, CLI samples, and error codes.

Endpoints

Select an endpoint based on the region where your resource resides to reduce latency.

For more information about Anycast EIP endpoints, see Anycast EIP.

Identities

By default, OpenAPI Explorer uses the Alibaba Cloud account that you are logged on with for online debugging. An Alibaba Cloud account has full API permissions, which may pose security risks. We strongly recommend that you use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. Before you do so, grant the RAM user the required Anycast EIP permissions. For more information, see Use RAM to implement access control.

For more information about user identities, see Identity.

Alibaba Cloud SDK

• Alibaba Cloud provides SDKs in multiple programming languages, including Java, C#, Go, Python, TypeScript, Node.js, PHP, and C++. The SDKs encapsulate signature logic, timeout mechanisms, and retry mechanisms, and return structured response objects. For more information, see Alibaba Cloud SDKs.

• OpenAPI Explorer can generate SDK sample code to help you call API operations. For more information about supported programming languages and dependency installation, see Anycast EIP SDK.

Alibaba Cloud CLI

• Run the aliyun command to interact with Alibaba Cloud services and manage cloud resources. For more information, see What is Alibaba Cloud CLI?

• You can use Alibaba Cloud CLI to call Anycast EIP API operations. For more information, see Call RPC API and RESTful API.

Terraform

• Terraform is an open source tool that is used to securely and efficiently preview, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure and resources. Terraform calls API operations by interpreting templates, similar to ROS. For more information, see What is Terraform?

ROS

• ROS is an Alibaba Cloud service that helps you manage cloud computing resources in a simplified manner. You can create stack templates to describe cloud resources, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and ApsaraDB RDS instances, and define their dependencies. The ROS engine automatically creates and configures all resources in a stack based on a template for automated deployment and O&M. For more information, see What is ROS?

• You can use ROS to call Anycast EIP operations. The following resources are supported:

  • ALIYUN::VPC::AnycastEIP: creates an Anycast EIP.

  • ALIYUN::VPC::AnycastEIPAssociation: associates an Anycast EIP with an instance in a specified region.

Custom API encapsulation

If none of the preceding methods meets your requirements, you can manually encapsulate API requests. This method is not recommended. For more information, see Request syntax and signature method V3.
