Build a Basic GA Instance with the CreateBasicAccelerator API - Global Accelerator - Alibaba Cloud - Global Accelerator

Basic Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) instances leverage Alibaba Cloud's premium global the Internet bandwidth and high-quality transmission network to provide users with point-to-point acceleration. Basic Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) instances are primarily used for Layer 3 (IP protocol) network acceleration. You can invoke the CreateBasicAccelerator operation to create a basic Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) instance.

Operation description

CreateBasicAccelerator is an asynchronous operation. After you invoke this operation, the system returns a basic Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) instance ID, but the instance is not yet created. The creation node continues to execute in the background. You can invoke GetBasicAccelerator or ListBasicAccelerators to query the status of the basic GA instance:

If the basic GA instance is in the init state, the instance is being created. In this state, you can only perform query operations.
If the basic GA instance is in the active state, the instance is created.

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
RegionId	string	Yes	The region ID of the basic Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) instance. Set the value to cn-hangzhou.	cn-hangzhou
ClientToken	string	No	The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The client token can contain only ASCII characters. Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId may be different for each API request.	123e4567****
Duration	integer	No	The subscription duration. If PricingCycle is set to Month, valid values of Duration are 1 to 9. If PricingCycle is set to Year, valid values of Duration are 1 to 3.	1
PricingCycle	string	No	The billing cycle. Valid values: Month: billed on a monthly basis. Year: billed on a yearly basis.	Month
BandwidthBillingType	string	No	The bandwidth billing method. Valid values: BandwidthPackage: billed by bandwidth plan. CDT: billed by traffic and settled through unified settlement by Cloud Data Transfer (CDT). CDT95: billed by the 95th percentile bandwidth and settled through unified settlement by CDT.
