Enterprise Distributed Application Service:ListScaleOutEcu

Last Updated:Dec 22, 2025

Queries elastic compute units (ECUs) available for scaling out an application in a specified cluster or the cluster where the application is deployed. This operation is applicable to Elastic Compute Service (ECS) clusters.

Operation description

Terms

  • Namespace: the logical concept that is used to isolate resources such as clusters, ECS instances, and applications, and microservices published in EDAS. This concept involves the default namespace and custom namespaces. Each region has a default namespace and supports multiple custom namespaces. By default, only the default namespace is available. You do not need to create a custom namespace if you do not want to isolate resources and microservices.

  • Elastic compute unit (ECU): After an ECS instance is imported to a cluster, the instance becomes an ECU.

  • Elastic compute container (ECC): After you deploy an application to an ECU in a cluster, the ECU becomes an ECC.

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.
