Object Storage Service:put-bucket-qos-info

Last Updated:Mar 20, 2026

Sets the Quality of Service (QoS) bandwidth limits for a bucket. All six bandwidth fields are required in the request body.

Important

The resource pool QoS feature is in invitational preview. To apply, your Object Storage Service (OSS) throughput in a specific region must be at or above 500 Gbit/s. Contact technical support to request access.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • A bucket that belongs to a resource pool

  • The oss:PutBucketQoSInfo permission (required when using a Resource Access Management (RAM) user or Security Token Service (STS); Alibaba Cloud root accounts have this permission by default). For setup instructions, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user

Syntax

ossutil api invoke-operation --op-name put-bucket-qos-info \
    --method PUT \
    --bucket <bucket-name> \
    --parameters qosInfo \
    --body=file://<path-to-xml-file>

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
--bucketstringYesThe bucket name
--parametersstringArrayYesRequest parameters in k[=v] format. For this operation, pass qosInfo
--bodystringYesThe request body. Use file://<path> to read from a file, or - to read from stdin

For global options, see Global command-line options.

Request body

The --body parameter accepts an XML file with the following structure:

<QoSConfiguration>
  <TotalUploadBandwidth>integer</TotalUploadBandwidth>
  <IntranetUploadBandwidth>integer</IntranetUploadBandwidth>
  <ExtranetUploadBandwidth>integer</ExtranetUploadBandwidth>
  <TotalDownloadBandwidth>integer</TotalDownloadBandwidth>
  <IntranetDownloadBandwidth>integer</IntranetDownloadBandwidth>
  <ExtranetDownloadBandwidth>integer</ExtranetDownloadBandwidth>
</QoSConfiguration>

All fields are integers in Gbit/s. Two special values apply across all fields:

  • -1: No limit. This is the default when a field is omitted.

  • 0: Block all requests of that type.

Field reference

FieldRequiredDescription
TotalUploadBandwidthYesTotal upload bandwidth cap. Combined upload bandwidth across internal and external networks cannot exceed this value
IntranetUploadBandwidthYesUpload bandwidth over internal networks (classic network and virtual private clouds (VPCs)). Cannot exceed TotalUploadBandwidth
ExtranetUploadBandwidthYesUpload bandwidth over external networks (Internet and Alibaba Cloud CDN). Cannot exceed TotalUploadBandwidth
TotalDownloadBandwidthYesTotal download bandwidth cap. Combined download bandwidth across internal and external networks cannot exceed this value
IntranetDownloadBandwidthYesDownload bandwidth over internal networks (classic network and VPCs). Cannot exceed TotalDownloadBandwidth
ExtranetDownloadBandwidthYesDownload bandwidth over external networks (Internet and Alibaba Cloud CDN). Cannot exceed TotalDownloadBandwidth
A bucket's bandwidth threshold cannot exceed the bandwidth threshold of the resource pool it belongs to.

Example

Set upload and download caps to 10 Gbit/s with no sub-limits

Create a configuration file named qos.xml:

<QoSConfiguration>
  <TotalUploadBandwidth>10</TotalUploadBandwidth>
  <IntranetUploadBandwidth>-1</IntranetUploadBandwidth>
  <ExtranetUploadBandwidth>-1</ExtranetUploadBandwidth>
  <TotalDownloadBandwidth>10</TotalDownloadBandwidth>
  <IntranetDownloadBandwidth>-1</IntranetDownloadBandwidth>
  <ExtranetDownloadBandwidth>-1</ExtranetDownloadBandwidth>
</QoSConfiguration>

This configuration caps total upload and download at 10 Gbit/s each. Internal and external network sub-limits are set to -1 (unlimited), so each sub-limit can use up to the full 10 Gbit/s total.

Apply the configuration to examplebucket:

ossutil api invoke-operation --op-name put-bucket-qos-info --method PUT --bucket examplebucket --parameters qosInfo --body=file://qos.xml

Output

This command produces no output on success. To verify the configuration was applied, run the corresponding get-bucket-qos-info operation.
