Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible):DescribeInstanceSSL

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Queries whether TLS (SSL) encryption is enabled for a Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) instance.

Operation description

SSL encryption is supported for Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) 2.8 standard master-replica instances, Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) 2.8 master-replica cluster instances, and Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) 4.0 master-replica cluster instances. You can enable SSL encryption to enhance data transmission security.

You can use one of the following methods to enable or disable SSL encryption or update the SSL certificate for a Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) instance:

Note

After SSL encryption is enabled, the instance may respond slower.

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.
