Use ROS Infrastructure Composer to visually design and deploy an ECS instance with an Elastic IP Address (EIP), along with the required VPC, vSwitch, and security group.
Prerequisites
You have created an Alibaba Cloud account and completed identity verification. For more information, see Create an account and Identity verification.
Step 1: Drag and connect resources
Go to the ROS Infrastructure Composer module in the ROS console.
-
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Infrastructure Templates and click Create Infrastructure Template. In the dialog box, select ROS and click OK.
-
From the navigation pane on the left, drag Single-zone Network onto the canvas.
-
From the navigation pane on the left, drag ECS Instance into the vSwitch.
-
From the navigation pane on the left, drag Elastic IP Address into the region.
-
On the canvas, click the Elastic IP Address. A connection point appears on each of its four sides. Drag a connection point to the ECS Instance to connect the two resources, as shown in the following figure.
Step 2: Edit resource properties
-
On the canvas, click the ECS Instance. In the form on the right, configure the resource properties. The following values are examples.
-
ECS Instance Type: ecs.t5-lc1m2.large
-
Image ID: Alibaba Cloud Linux 3.2104 LTS 64-bit Quick Launch
-
System Disk Type: Ultra Disk
-
-
On the canvas, click the Elastic IP Address. In the form on the right, configure the resource properties. The following values are examples.
-
Billing Method for EIP: Pay-as-you-go
-
Metering Method for EIP: Pay-by-bandwidth
Set Billing Method to pay-as-you-go and Bandwidth to 5 Mbps.
-
Step 3: Deploy the architecture
-
In the upper-right corner, click Deploy.
-
On the deployment page, click Next.
-
On the Price Preview page, review the estimated cost. You can click Cost Details for a detailed breakdown of charges.
-
Click Create to start the deployment. You can monitor resource deployment status and events in real time.
During deployment, the system creates the Elastic IP Address, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), vSwitch, and security group before creating the ECS instance. The right panel shows the stack status as Creating, and the event list below displays the creation timeline for each resource.
Step 4 (Optional): Delete the stack
If you no longer need these resources, delete the stack to release them and avoid unnecessary charges.
-
On the Deploy tab, click the Stack ID.
-
On the stack details page, click Remove.
-
In the Delete Stacks dialog box, set Method to Delete the Stack to Release Resources.
-
Click OK.
