Global Accelerator:UpdateEndpointGroup

Last Updated:Oct 13, 2026

Modifies the configurations of an endpoint group.

Operation description

  • The UpdateEndpointGroup operation is asynchronous. The system returns a request ID, but the endpoint group configurations are not immediately modified. The modification task continues in the background. You can call the DescribeEndpointGroup operation to query the status of the endpoint group:
    • If the endpoint group is in the updating state, the configurations are being modified. In this state, you can only perform query operations.

    • If the endpoint group is in the active state, the configurations are modified.

  • The UpdateEndpointGroup operation does not support concurrent modifications to endpoint group configurations within the same Global Accelerator (GA) instance.

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.

If port mappings are already configured for the default endpoint group, you cannot add a virtual endpoint group.

  • After you configure port mappings, the following limits apply to subsequent listener modifications: You cannot modify the listener protocol, except for switching between HTTP and HTTPS.

  • Listener port: The modified listener port range must include all listener ports in the current port mappings. For example, if the listener port range is 80 to 82 and the port mappings are configured to map to endpoint ports 100 to 102, you cannot change the listener port range to 80 to 81.
