Compute Nest:Hosted O&M for private services

Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

Learn how to add the hosted O&M feature to a private service.

Background

Compute Nest provides a hosted O&M feature that allows service providers to perform O&M on their users' Alibaba Cloud resources on their behalf.

When a user creates a service instance from a private service configured with hosted O&M, they also grant the service provider O&M permissions for the Alibaba Cloud resources within that instance.

Service configuration

  1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose My Services. On the My Services page, click the Created Services tab, and then click Create Service.

  3. On the Create Service page, configure the service information.

    1. Select Custom Launch. In the Select Service Type section, select Private Service.

    2. Click Next: Configure Settings.

    3. On the Configure Settings page, configure the following settings.

      1. In the Basic Information section, complete the required fields.

      2. In the Service Deployment section, configure deployment settings, such as the region and template content.

      3. In the Service O&M (Optional) section, configure the O&M permissions.

        Select Obtain Permissions and choose the required O&M permissions from the drop-down list. For details about these permissions, see O&M permissions.

        The available O&M permissions are read-only permission (policy name: AliyunComputeNestPolicyForReadOnly), full access (policy name: AliyunComputeNestPolicyForFullAccess), and terminal login permission (policy name: AliyunComputeNestPolicyForTerminalLogin).

  4. After finishing the configuration, click Create Service, and then click OK in the confirmation dialog box.
