CreateStackGroup - Resource Orchestration Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

A stack group is a collection of Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) stacks that you can manage as a unit. You can use an ROS template of a stack group to create stacks within Alibaba Cloud accounts in multiple regions.

You can create a stack group that is granted self-managed or service-managed permissions:

If you use an Alibaba Cloud account to create a self-managed stack group, the administrator account and the execution account are Alibaba Cloud accounts.
If you enable a resource directory and use the management account or a delegated administrator account of the resource directory to create a service-managed stack group, the administrator account is the management account or delegated administrator account, and the execution account is a member of the resource directory.

For more information about stack groups, see Overview.

This topic provides an example on how to create a self-managed stack group named MyStackGroup by using a template. In this example, the template ID is 5ecd1e10-b0e9-4389-a565-e4c15efc****. The region ID of the stack group is cn-hangzhou.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters


Parameter	Type	Required	Example	Description
Action	String	Yes	CreateStackGroup	The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to CreateStackGroup.
RegionId	String	Yes	cn-hangzhou	The region ID of the stack group. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.
StackGroupName	String	Yes	MyStackGroup	The name of the stack group. The name must be unique within a region. The name can be up to 255 characters in length, and can contain digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). The name must start with a digit or letter.
Description	String	No	StackGroup Description	The description of the stack group. The description must be 1 to 256 characters in length.
TemplateBody	String	No	{"ROSTemplateFormatVersion":"2015-09-01"}	The structure that contains the template body. The template body must be 1 to 524,288 bytes in length. If the length of the template body exceeds the upper limit, we recommend that you add parameters to the HTTP POST request body to prevent request failures caused by excessively long URLs. Note You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody, TemplateURL, and TemplateId.
TemplateURL	String	No	oss://ros-template/demo	The URL of the file that contains the template body. The URL must point to a template that is located on an HTTP or HTTPS web server or in an Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket, such as oss://ros/template/demo or oss://ros/template/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. The template body must be 1 to 524,288 bytes in length. If you do not specify the region ID of the OSS bucket, the value of the RegionId parameter is used. Note You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody, TemplateURL, and TemplateId.
ClientToken	String	No	123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544****	The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must make sure that the value is unique among different requests. The token can be up to 64 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). For more information, see Ensure idempotence.
AdministrationRoleName	String	No	AliyunROSStackGroupAdministrationRole	The name of the RAM role that you specify for the administrator account when you create a self-managed stack group. ROS assumes the administrator role to perform operations. If you do not specify this parameter, the default value AliyunROSStackGroupAdministrationRole is used. ROS uses the administrator role to assume the execution role AliyunROSStackGroupExecutionRole to perform operations on the stacks in the stack group. The name must be 1 to 64 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-).
ExecutionRoleName	String	No	AliyunROSStackGroupExecutionRole	The name of the RAM role that you specify for the execution account when you create a self-managed stack group. The administrator role AliyunROSStackGroupAdministrationRole assumes the execution role to perform operations. If you do not specify this parameter, the default value AliyunROSStackGroupExecutionRole is used. ROS assumes the execution role to perform operations on the stacks in the stack group. The name must be 1 to 64 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-).
TemplateId	String	No	5ecd1e10-b0e9-4389-a565-e4c15efc****	The ID of the template. This parameter applies to shared and private templates. Note You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody, TemplateURL, and TemplateId.
TemplateVersion	String	No	v1	The version of the template. If you do not specify this parameter, the latest version is used. Note This parameter takes effect only when the TemplateId parameter is specified.
Parameters.N.ParameterKey	String	Yes	Amount	The name of parameter N. If you do not specify the name and value of a parameter, ROS uses the default name and value that are defined in the template. Maximum value of N: 200. Note The Parameters parameter is optional. If you specify the Parameters parameter, you must specify the Parameters.N.ParameterKey parameter.
Parameters.N.ParameterValue	String	Yes	12	The value of parameter N. Maximum value of N: 200. Note The Parameters parameter is optional. If you specify the Parameters parameter, you must specify the Parameters.N.ParameterValue parameter.
ResourceGroupId	String	No	rg-acfmxazb4ph6aiy****	The ID of the resource group. If you do not specify this parameter, the stack group is added to the default resource group. For more information about resource groups, see the "Resource Group" section of the What is Resource Management? topic.
PermissionModel	String	No	SELF_MANAGED	The permission model. Default value: SELF_MANAGED. Valid values: SELF_MANAGED: the self-managed permission model. If you create a self-managed stack group, you must create RAM roles within the administrator and execution accounts and establish a trust relationship between the accounts. Then, you can deploy stacks within the execution account. SERVICE_MANAGED: the service-managed permission model. If you create a service-managed stack group, ROS creates service-linked roles for the administrator and execution accounts, and the administrator account uses its role to deploy stacks within the execution account. Note When you use the service-managed permission model to deploy stacks, make sure that your account is the management account or a delegated administrator account in the resource directory and the trusted access feature is enabled for your account. For more information, see Step 1: (Optional) Create a delegated administrator account and Step 2: Enable trusted access.
Tags.N.Key	String	Yes	usage	The key of tag N that you want to add to the stack group. Note The Tags parameter is optional. If you specify the Tags parameter, you must specify the Tags.N.Key parameter.
Tags.N.Value	String	No	test	The value of tag N that you want to add to the stack group.
AutoDeployment	Object	No		The information about automatic deployment settings. Note This parameter is required only if the PermissionModel parameter is set to SERVICE_MANAGED.
Enabled	Boolean	Yes	true	Specifies whether to enable automatic deployment. Valid values: true: enables automatic deployment. If you add a member to the folder to which the stack group belongs after you enable automatic deployment, ROS automatically adds the stacks in the stack group to the member. If you remove a member from the folder, ROS automatically deletes the stacks from the member. false: disables automatic deployment. After you disable automatic deployment, the stacks remain unchanged when you change the members in the folder.
RetainStacksOnAccountRemoval	Boolean	No	true	Specifies whether to retain stacks within a member when you remove the member from the folder. Valid values: true: retains the stacks. false: deletes the stacks. Note This parameter is required if the Enabled parameter is set to true.
