Resource Management:Automate resource transfers with custom rules

Prerequisites

The automatic resource transfer feature is enabled. Enable the Automatic Resource Transfer feature.

Create a custom transfer rule

1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Group > Automatic Resource Transfer.

3. On the Transfer Based on Custom Rules tab, click Create Rule.

   

4. Configure the custom transfer rule.

   Parameter	Description
   Rule Name	The rule name. Up to 128 characters. Supports letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
   Rule Description	The rule description. Up to 512 characters.
   Effective Scope	All Resources: The rule applies to all resources in your account that support custom rule-based automatic transfers. Resource types that support automatic transfers based on custom rules. Note If you select All Resources, the rule automatically includes newly supported resource types by default. Custom Resource Scope: Specify the rule scope by resource type, resource group, region, or specific resources.
   Destination Resource Group	The resource group to transfer matching resources into.
   Transfer Conditions	Resources that meet the transfer conditions are automatically moved to the destination resource group. A transfer condition consists of: Resource property: the condition key. Supported keys: name, tag, VPC, or vSwitch. Note Tag-, VPC-, or vSwitch-based transfers only apply to resource types that have these properties. Verify your target resources in Resource Center before configuring rules. Operator: the comparison logic. Supported operators: StringEqualsAny, NotStringEqualsAll, and StringMatch. Expected value: the value to compare against resource properties. Format varies by operator. Two methods are available: Single Condition: suitable for simple resource filtering. Combined Conditions: use and or or logical operators to connect sub-conditions with nesting. Suitable for complex resource filtering.

   Example 1: Automatically transfer all resources tagged project:project A to the Project-A resource group.

   

   Example 2: Automatically transfer ECS instances tagged project:project A or whose names contain projectA to the Project-A resource group.

   

   

5. Click Query Matching Resources to preview resources that match the conditions and verify the results.

   

6. Click Confirm.
