Elastic Compute Service:DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusters

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Queries dedicated clusters.

Operation description

Usage notes

Note

The Dedicated Block Storage Cluster feature is available only in the China (Heyuan), Indonesia (Jakarta), and China (Shenzhen) regions.

  • You can specify multiple request parameters to be queried. Specified parameters are evaluated by using the AND operator. Only the specified parameters are included in the filter conditions.

  • We recommend that you use NextToken and MaxResults to perform paged queries. We recommend that you use MaxResults to specify the maximum number of entries to return in each request. The return value of NextToken is a pagination token, which can be used in the next request to retrieve a new page of results. When you call the DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusters operation to retrieve a new page of results, set NextToken to the NextToken value that is returned in the previous call and specify MaxResults to limit the number of entries returned.

Test

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.
