Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateCen

Last Updated:Oct 22, 2024

Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instances are basic network resources that are used to manage interconnected networks. You can use a CEN instance to manage a network that covers one or multiple regions. Before you can connect network instances, you must first call the CreateCen operation to create a CEN instance.

Operation description

CreateCen is an asynchronous operation. After you a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call DescribeCens to query the status of the task.

  • If a CEN instance is in the Creating state, the CEN instance is being created. You can query the CEN instance but cannot perform other operations.
  • If a CEN instance is in the Active state, the CEN instance is created.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.
