Cloud Config:CreateRemediation

Last Updated:Oct 29, 2026

Configures a remediation for an existing rule.

Operation description

Background information

  • Template remediation: Quickly remediates non-compliant resources by using public templates provided by CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS).

    You can configure only one remediation for a rule. Only rules created by using specific templates support template remediation.

  • Custom remediation: Quickly remediates non-compliant resources by running custom code in Function Compute (FC).

    You can configure only one remediation for a rule. Both rules created by using templates and custom rules are supported.

Instructions

This topic provides an example to show how to create a remediation setting for the rule cr-8a973ac2e2be00a2****. The response shows that the remediation setting is created and the remediation setting ID is crr-909ba2d4716700eb****.

Test

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.
