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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ClusterId

string

No

The ID of the cluster.

You can call ListClusters to obtain the cluster ID.

ehpc-hz-FYUr32****

QueueName

string

No

The name of the queue to which the compute nodes belong.

test1

Count

integer

No

The number of compute nodes to add. Valid values: 1 to 99. The value of MinCount must be less than the value of Count.

  • If the ECS inventory is less than MinCount, the operation fails.

  • If the ECS inventory is between MinCount and Count, the number of nodes specified by MinCount is added.

  • If the ECS inventory is greater than Count, the number of nodes specified by Count is added.

ComputeNode NodeTemplate

No

HPCInterConnect

string

No

Specifies the hardware configuration of the compute node.

vpc

VSwitchId

string

No

Specifies the network type for communication between compute nodes. Valid values:

  • vpc

  • eRDMA
