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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

LoadBalancerId

string

Yes

The ID of the load balancer instance.

lb-5ovkn1piwqmoqrfjdyhq4****

ListenerPort

integer

Yes

The listener port that receives and forwards requests to backend servers. Valid values: 1 to 65535.

80

Description

string

No

The description of the listener. The description must be 1 to 80 characters in length.

Note

The description cannot start with http:// or https://.

example

Scheduler

string

No

The scheduling algorithm. Valid values:

  • wrr (default): Weighted Round Robin. Requests are distributed to backend servers based on their weights. Backend servers with higher weights receive more requests.

  • wlc: Weighted Least Connections. Requests are distributed to backend servers based on both their weights and the number of connections. If multiple backend servers have the same weight, the one with the fewest connections receives more requests.

  • rr: Round Robin. Requests are distributed to backend servers in sequential order.

  • sch: Source IP Hash. Requests are routed based on a consistent hash of the source IP address, ensuring that requests from the same source IP address are sent to the same backend server.

  • tch: Four-tuple Hash. Requests are routed based on a consistent hash of a four-tuple (source IP address, destination IP address, source port, and destination port), ensuring that requests from the same flow are sent to the same backend server.

wrr

PersistenceTimeout

integer

No

The timeout period for session persistence.

  • Default value: 0, which indicates that session persistence is disabled.

  • Valid values: 0 to 3600.

  • Unit: seconds.

0

EstablishedTimeout

integer

No

The timeout period for established connections, in seconds. Valid values: 10 to 900. Default value: 900.

500

HealthyThreshold

integer

No

The number of consecutive successful health checks required for a backend server to be considered healthy (from a fail to success state). Valid values: 2 to 10. Default value: 3.

4

UnhealthyThreshold

integer

No

The number of consecutive failed health checks required for a backend server to be considered unhealthy (from a success to fail state). Valid values: 2 to 10. Default value: 3.

4

HealthCheckConnectTimeout

integer

No

The maximum time to wait for a health check response. If a backend ENS instance does not respond within this timeout period, the health check fails.

  • Default value: 5.

  • Valid values: 1 to 300.

  • Unit: seconds.

Note

If the value of this parameter is less than the value of HealthCheckInterval, this parameter is ignored and the value of HealthCheckInterval is used as the timeout period.

100

HealthCheckInterval

integer

No

The interval between health checks, in seconds. Valid values: 1 to 50. Default value: 2.

3

HealthCheckDomain

string

No

The domain name used for health checks.

www.aliyundoc.com

HealthCheckURI

string

No

The URI for health checks. The URI must be 1 to 80 characters in length.

Note

The URI must start with a forward slash (/) but cannot be only a forward slash (/).

/checkpreload.htm

HealthCheckHttpCode

string

No

The HTTP status codes that indicate a successful health check. Valid values:

  • http_2xx (default)

  • http_3xx

  • http_4xx

BackendServerPort

integer

No

The port used by backend servers. Valid values: 1 to 65535.

8080

HealthCheckConnectPort

integer

No

The port used for health checks. Valid values: 1 to 65535. If you do not specify this parameter, the port specified by BackendServerPort is used by default.

string

No

Specifies whether to enable EIP passthrough. Valid values:

  • on: Enables EIP passthrough.

  • off (default): Disables EIP passthrough.
