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 Edge Load Balancer (ELB) instance.

lb-5q73cv04zeyh43lh74lp4****

ListenerPort

integer

Yes

The listener port that is used by Edge Load Balancer (ELB) to receive requests and forward the requests to backend servers. Valid values: 1 to 65535.

Note

You cannot specify ports 250, 4789, or 4790 for UDP listeners. They are system reserved ports.

80

Description

string

No

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

Note

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

example

Scheduler

string

No

The scheduling algorithm. Valid values:

  • wrr: Backend servers with higher weights receive more requests than backend servers with lower weights. This is the default value.

  • wlc: Requests are distributed based on the weight and load of each backend server. The load refers to the number of connections on a backend server. If two backend servers have the same weight, the backend server that has fewer connections receives more requests.

  • rr: Requests are distributed to backend servers in sequence.

  • sch: Consistent hashing that is based on source IP addresses. Requests from the same source IP address are distributed to the same backend server.

  • qch: Consistent hashing based on Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC) IDs. Requests that contain the same QUIC ID are scheduled to the same backend server.

  • iqch: Consistent hashing based on three specific bytes of iQUIC CID. Requests with the same second, third, and forth bytes are scheduled to the same backend server.

wrr

HealthyThreshold

integer

No

The number of consecutive successful health checks that must occur before an unhealthy and inaccessible backend server is declared healthy and accessible. Valid values: 2 to 10. Default value: 3.

4

UnhealthyThreshold

integer

No

The number of consecutive failed health checks that must occur before a healthy and accessible backend server is declared unhealthy and inaccessible. Valid values: 2 to 10. Default value: 3.

4

HealthCheckConnectTimeout

integer

No

The timeout period for a health check response. If a backend server does not respond within the specified timeout period, the server fails the health check.

  • Default value: 5.

  • Valid values: 1 to 300.

  • Unit: seconds.

Note

If the value of the HealthCheckConnectTimeout parameter is smaller than that of the HealthCheckInterval parameter, the timeout period specified by the HealthCheckConnectTimeout parameter becomes invalid and the value of the HealthCheckInterval parameter is used as the timeout period.

100

HealthCheckInterval

integer

No

The interval at which health checks are performed. Valid values: 1 to 50. Default value: 2. Unit: seconds.

3

BackendServerPort

integer

No

The port used by the backend ELB server of the ELB instance. Valid values: 1 to 65535.

8080

HealthCheckConnectPort

integer

No

The port that is used for health checks. Valid values: 1 to 65535. If you leave this parameter empty, the port specified by BackendServerPort is used for health checks.

8080

HealthCheckReq

string

No

The request string for UDP listener health checks. The string can be up to 64 characters in length and can contain only letters and digits.

hello

HealthCheckExp

string

No

The response string for UDP listener health checks. The string can be up to 64 characters in length and can contain only letters and digits.

ok

EipTransmit

string

No

Specifies whether to enable Elastic IP address (EIP) pass-through. Valid values:

  • on

  • off (default)

on

EstablishedTimeout

integer

No

The timeout period of a connection. Valid values: 10 to 900. Default value: 900. Unit: seconds.
