Last Updated:Apr 01, 2026

After you create a Cloud Assistant command, you can modify, run, clone, or delete it in the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console without re-creating it from scratch.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • At least one Cloud Assistant command created in the target region

Manage commands

  1. Go to ECS console - ECS Cloud Assistant.

  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group of the resource that you want to manage.

  3. Click the My Commands tab and perform the available operations.

Clone a commandFind the command and click Clone in the Actions column. Cloning creates a new version of a Cloud Assistant command, allowing you to retain or modify — including its name, description, type, content, execution path, and timeout — before running it.
