Resource Management:Streamline O&M with resource groups and OOS

Use cases

As your cloud footprint grows, manual O&M can no longer keep pace with business demands. OOS converts runbooks, operating procedures, and maintenance guides into templates, enabling an Operations as Code approach. Resource groups let you organize cloud resources by environment, department, or project. By combining resource groups with OOS, you can target and automate O&M at the group level.

In this example, an enterprise with three departments, a single Alibaba Cloud account, and over 100 ECS instances uses resource groups to organize O&M by department.

Procedure

1. Create resource groups and transfer resources to them.

   1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

   2. Create resource groups.

      In this example, create one resource group for each department.

      For more information, see Create a resource group.

   3. Transfer resources to the corresponding resource groups.

      In this example, transfer the ECS instances that belong to different departments to their respective resource groups.

      For more information, see Transfer resources between resource groups manually.

2. Create an O&M task based on a resource group.

   1. Log on to the OOS console.

   2. Create an execution from a public template.

      In this example, select the Send Remote Commands public template. You can select target instances by resource group. You can create executions from different templates for each of the three resource groups.

      For more information, see Automatic execution.

   3. View the execution results.

      For more information, see View the details of an execution.
