Elastic Container Instance:CopyDataCache

Last Updated:Oct 17, 2025

Copies a data cache from one region to another.

Operation description

Data caches are region-specific. You can use this operation to copy a data cache to another region. This operation is useful in the following scenarios:

  • If you want to use a data cache in multiple regions, you can create it in one region and then use this operation to quickly copy it to other regions.

  • Pulling data from a source outside the Chinese mainland to create a data cache can be slow for users in the Chinese mainland due to network limitations. To work around this, you can first create the data cache in a region outside the Chinese mainland, such as China (Hong Kong), and then use this operation to copy it to a region in the Chinese mainland.

Important Copying a data cache is similar to copying a snapshot. The associated fees include traffic costs for the copy process and storage costs for the new data cache.

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.
