Cloud Enterprise Network:CreateCenBandwidthPackage

Last Updated:Aug 13, 2025

To connect network instances in different regions, you must purchase a bandwidth plan. You can call the CreateCenBandwidthPackage operation to create a bandwidth plan.

Operation description

  • When you create a bandwidth plan, you must specify the connected areas. A connected area is a collection of one or more Alibaba Cloud regions. You must select the connected areas based on the regions that you want to connect. For more information about the relationship between areas and regions, see Purchase a bandwidth plan.

  • For more information about billing, see Billing.

  • CreateCenBandwidthPackage is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a bandwidth plan ID. The bandwidth plan is created in the background. You can call the DescribeCenBandwidthPackages operation to query the status of the bandwidth plan. The bandwidth plan is successfully created when its status changes to Idle or InUse.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
