:Perform O&M operations

Last Updated:Jun 03, 2025

After service instances are created, you can perform O&M operations on the created service instances in the Compute Nest console. For example, you can scale up or down a service instance, start multiple service instances at a time, and upload files to multiple Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances at a time. This topic describes how to perform O&M operations on a service instance.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

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

  3. On the Service Instance page, click a tab based on the type of your service instance.

  4. Find the service instance that you want to manage and click its ID to go to the service instance details page.

  5. On the service instance details page, click the O&M Management tab.

    • On the O&M Management tab, perform O&M operations on the resources in the service instance. Compute Nest allows you to perform the following types of O&M operations: common application O&M, service provider O&M, and custom O&M.

      • Service provider O&M: You can use the CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS) O&M templates provided by your service provider to perform automated O&M. You can also use the URLs provided by your service provider to go to other pages.

        Note

        Service provider O&M is applicable only to fully managed service instances.

      • Application O&M: You can use the public templates that are provided by Alibaba Cloud to perform automated O&M on resources in a group. The following table describes the O&M operations that you can perform.

        Operation

        Description

        Send remote commands

        You can run a Cloud Assistant command on multiple ECS instances at a time.

        Upload files

        You can upload files to multiple ECS instances at a time.

        You can upload local files, Object Storage Service (OSS) files, and HTTPS files. The size of a local file cannot exceed 500 MB.

        Clean up disks

        You can create scheduled tasks to clean up disks.

        Create custom tasks

        You can perform automated O&M on the resources in a group by using custom templates.

        Perform auto scaling

        You can create and use a scaling rule to perform auto scaling on the number of ECS instances in a scaling group.

        Start multiple ECS instances at a time

        You can start multiple ECS instances at a time.

        Stop multiple ECS instances at a time

        You can stop multiple ECS instances at a time.

        Restart multiple ECS instances at a time

        You can restart multiple ECS instances at a time.

        Change the instance type of multiple subscription ECS instances at a time

        You can change the instance type of multiple subscription ECS instances at a time.

        Change the instance type of multiple pay-as-you-go ECS instances at a time

        You can change the instance type of multiple pay-as-you-go ECS instances at a time.

        Modify the specifications of multiple disks at a time

        You can modify the disk type and performance level. Valid values for the disk type:

        • cloud_essd: Enterprise SSD (ESSD)

        • cloud_auto: basic disk

        • cloud_ssd: standard SSD

        • cloud_efficiency: ultra disk

        Resize multiple disks at a time

        You can resize multiple disks at a time. The disk size ranges from 20 to 32,768 GB. You can resize a disk online or offline.

        • Online: After you resize a disk, the new disk size automatically takes effect without the need to restart the associated instance. Ultra disks, standard SSDs, and ESSDs can be resized online.

        • Offline: After you resize a disk, you must restart the associated instance in the console or by calling the related API operation to make the new disk size take effect. By default, a disk is resized offline.

        Modify the specifications of multiple Server Load Balancer (SLB) instances at a time

        You can modify the specifications of multiple SLB instances at a time.

        Modify the bandwidth of multiple Internet-facing SLB instances at a time

        You can modify the maximum bandwidth of multiple Internet-facing SLB instances at a time. The maximum bandwidth ranges from 0 to 5,000 Mbit/s.

        Modify multiple IP addresses in network access control list (ACL) of an SLB instance at a time

        You can modify multiple IP addresses in the network ACL of an SLB instance at a time.

      • Custom O&M: You can use custom templates that you create in OOS to perform automated O&M on resources in a group.

    • You can also view O&M operation records. The information includes the task ID, task type, execution status, input parameters, and output parameters.
