Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible):AllocateDirectConnection

Last Updated:Oct 12, 2026

Applies for a direct connection endpoint for an ApsaraDB Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible) database cluster instance.

Operation description

Clients can use the direct connection endpoint to bypass the proxy and connect to the cluster instance in the same way as they connect to a native Redis cluster. This reduces link overhead and further improves the response speed of the ApsaraDB Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible) database service.

The instance for which you invoke this operation must meet the following conditions:

  • The instance uses the cluster architecture.

  • The deployment pattern is classic.

  • The network type of the instance is VPC. If the instance is connected to the classic network, you can invoke the SwitchNetwork operation to switch the network type to VPC.

  • The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption feature is disabled for the instance. If the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption feature is enabled, you can invoke the ModifyInstanceSSL operation for shutdown.

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.
