:Create a fully managed service that isolates resources by resource directory

Last Updated:Jun 16, 2025

When you create a single-tenant fully managed service, you can enable the resource directory feature to manage resources, settle bills, and audit logs for service instances. When customers create service instances in your service, Compute Nest automatically creates members in your resource directory to isolate the resources of service instances. This topic describes how to create and delete members.

Background information

Resource Directory allows service providers to quickly establish an organizational structure based on business requirements and consolidate the accounts of an organization into the structure to create a hierarchy for the resources of the organization. This way, service providers can manage their accounts and resources in a centralized manner. Resource Directory can meet management requirements in aspects such as network deployment, settlement, user permissions, security compliance, and log auditing. For more information, see Resource Directory overview.

When customers create service instances in a service, Compute Nest automatically creates members in a resource directory of the service provider. The members are used as resource containers to physically isolate the resources of service instances.

Create a single-tenant fully managed service

If you need to isolate the resources of service instances, you can enable Compute Nest to create members in a resource directory when you create a single-tenant fully managed service. When a customer creates a service instance in your service, Compute Nest automatically creates a member in your resource directory and deploys the resources of the service instance within the member.

Before you create a single-tenant fully managed service, you must enable a resource directory. For more information, see Enable a resource directory.

  1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

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

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

    Select Single Tenant as Tenant Type and select Whether to Create Member in Resource Directory. Configure other parameters based on your business requirements. For more information, see Create a fully managed service.

  4. Click Create Service. In the message that appears, click OK.

Create a member in a resource directory and view the resources within the member

When a customer creates a service instance in your service, Compute Nest creates a member that is exclusive to the service instance in your resource directory. Compute Nest also creates all the resources required by the service instance within the member.

  1. Create a service instance.

    For more information, see Create a fully managed service instance.

    After the service instance is created, you can view the member that is created for the service instance in your resource directory.

  2. View the resources of the service instance within the member.

    1. On the details page of the created service instance, click the URL next to Member Logon URL to go to the homepage of the Alibaba Cloud Management Console.

    2. Click the Resource Management tab to view the resources of the service instance.

Delete a member

A member is exclusively created for a service instance. All the resources of the service instance are deployed within the member. Therefore, when you delete the service instance, the member is also deleted.

Enable member deletion

Before you delete a member, you must enable member deletion in the Resource Management console.

  1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Directory > Settings.

  3. On the Settings page, click Enable Member Deletion.

Delete a service instance

  1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Service Instance.

  3. On the Service Instance page, find the service instance that you want to delete. Click Delete in the Actions column.

  4. In the dialog box that appears, select I confirm to delete the service instance and the cloud resources that are created for the service instance and click Confirm.

What to do next

After the service instance is deleted, you can go to the Resource Management console to check whether the member that is exclusive to the service instance is deleted from your resource directory. If you cannot find the member, the member is deleted.

After a service instance is created, you can view the information about the member that is synchronously created.

After a service instance is deleted, you can check whether the member that is exclusive to the service instance is deleted.
