Resource Orchestration Service:Create an ECS instance group and attach the instance group to a CLB instance

Last Updated:Oct 18, 2023

This topic helps you walk through the process of creating a Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) template. In this topic, a template that declares the resources used to create an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance group and attach the instance group to a Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instance is created.

Prerequisites

You are familiar with the syntax and the structure of ROS templates. For more information, see Getting started with templates.

Sample scenario

In this scenario, an ECS instance group is created in a virtual private cloud (VPC), the Nginx service is deployed in the instance group, and then the instance group is attached to a CLB instance.

Usage notes

You can view the resource types of the preceding resources to obtain the details of each resource property. For more information, see View resource types.

A resource type declares the properties of a resource, such as the type, whether required, and whether editable. If a property is required, you must declare the property in the Properties part of the Resources section of a template. If a property is optional, you can leave the property empty. If a property is editable, you can modify the property in a new template after the property is specified for a cloud resource in a stack template. Then, you can use the new template to update the stack and the resource. Otherwise, you cannot modify the property.

Create a template

Refer to the documentation of resource types to find the resource types that are suitable for your scenario. For more information, see List of resource types by service.

In the sample scenario, you must create resources by using the following resource types: ALIYUN::ECS::VPC (creates a VPC), ALIYUN::ECS::InstanceGroup (creates an ECS instance group), ALIYUN::SLB::LoadBalancer (creates a CLB instance), ALIYUN::SLB::Listener (adds a listener to the CLB instance), ALIYUN::VPC::EIP (creates an EIP, which is abbreviated from elastic IP address), ALIYUN::ECS::VSwitch (creates a vSwitch to which the ECS instance group is connected), and ALIYUN::ECS::InstanceGroup (creates a security group). When you use the ALIYUN::ECS::InstanceGroup resource type to create an ECS instance group, you must use the UserData property of the resource type to run scripts for data initialization. You must also use the ALIYUN::ROS::WaitCondition (waits for a signal) and ALIYUN::ROS::WaitConditionHandle (receives a signal) resource types to control the execution process in the ECS instance group.

You can specify the preceding resource types in the Resources section of the template.

Define and associate resources in the template

Define Vpc, VSwitch, and EcsSecurityGroup

Define the following basic network resources in the template: Vpc, VSwitch, and EcsSecurityGroup.

  • Use the Ref function together with the ALIYUN::StackName pseudo parameter to obtain the stack name. Then, set a property to Ref: ALIYUN::StackName to associate the property value with the stack name. In the following code snippet, the value of VpcName in Vpc and the value of VSwitchName in VSwitch are associated with the stack name. For more information, see Ref and ALIYUN::StackName.

  • Use the Ref function to return the value of a specified parameter. In the following code snippet, Ref: Vpc is specified in VSwitch to return the VPC ID that is parsed from Vpc as the value of VpcId. In most cases, Ref returns a resource ID. For more information, see Ref.

Define Slb, SlbListener, and EipSlbAddress

Define the following resources in the template: Slb (specifies a CLB instance) ,SlbListener (specifies a listener), and EipSlbAddress (specifies an EIP).

Use the Fn::Sub function and the ALIYUN::StackName pseudo parameter to substitute the variable in an input string with the stack name that you obtain. Then, use the new string as the value of a property. For more information, see ALIYUN::StackName.

Resources:
  Slb:
    Type: ALIYUN::SLB::LoadBalancer

Define EcsInstanceGroup, WaitCondition, and WaitConditionHandle

Define the following resources in the template: EcsInstanceGroup (specifies an ECS instance group), WaitCondition (waits for a signal), and WaitConditionHandle (receives a signal).

  • Use the Fn::GetAtt function to return the property value of a resource. In the following code snippet, the value of CurlCli in WaitConditionHandle is returned. For more information, see Fn::GetAtt.

  • Use the Fn::Sub function to substitute the variable in an input string with the value that you specify. In the following code snippet, ${CurlCli} in UserData of EcsInstanceGroup is substituted with CurlCli. For more information, see Fn::Sub.

  • Use ALIYUN::ROS::WaitCondition and ALIYUN::ROS::WaitConditionHandle to control data initialization in EcsInstanceGroup.

    1. Create the ALIYUN::ROS::WaitCondition resource that is used to wait for a signal.

    2. Create the ALIYUN::ROS::WaitConditionHandle resource that is used to receive a signal.

    3. Execute the scripts that you specify in UserData of EcsInstanceGroup and send signals of the execution process. In the following code snippet, the scripts for data initialization are specified in UserData of EcsInstanceGroup and are executed. When the execution of the scripts is successful, ROS calls back WaitConditionHandle and fails WaitCondition.

Resources:
	WaitCondition:
    Type: ALIYUN::ROS::WaitCondition
    Properties:
      Count: 1

            yum install -y nginx
            # Configure a startup script.
            systemctl start nginx.service
            # When the execution of the scripts is successful, ROS calls back WaitConditionHandle and fails WaitCondition. 
            ${CurlCli} -d "{\"Data\" : \"Success\", \"status\" : \"SUCCESS\"}"
          - CurlCli:
              Fn::GetAtt:
                - WaitConditionHandle
                - CurlCli
    

Define EcsInstanceGroup, Slb, and SlbBackendServerAttachment

Define the following resources in the template: EcsInstanceGroup, Slb, and SlbBackendServerAttachment.

  • Use SlbBackendServerAttachment to attach the ECS instance group to the CLB instance. For more information, see ALIYUN::SLB::BackendServerAttachment.

    The ALIYUN::SLB::BackendServerAttachment resource type is subject to the following rules: If you leave BackendServerWeightList empty, the weight value of each ECS instance contained in the instances (backend servers) that is specified by BackendServerList is 100. If the number of the weight values specified by BackendServerWeightList is less than the number of the instances specified by BackendServerList, the excessive ECS instances are assigned the last weight value.

  • Use the DependsOn property to specify that a resource is created only after the dependent resource is created. When you add a DependsOn property to a resource, the resource is created only after the resource that is specified in the DependsOn property is created. For more information, see DependsOn.

  • Use the Fn::GetAtt function to return the property value of a resource. In the following code snippet, the value of InstanceIds in EcsInstanceGroup is returned. For more information, see Fn::GetAtt.

Add parameter groups to a template and display the valid values of a parameter based on a filter condition

In the preceding template, multiple resources are defined and associated. The value of the LoadBalancerSpec property of the Slb resource and the values of the InstanceType and SystemDiskCategory properties of the EcsInstanceGroup resource reference the values of specific parameters. Each time you create a stack in a different region, you must modify the template structure and change the property values.

In this case, you can add the Parameters section to improve the flexibility and reusability of the template.

Add parameter groups to a template

You can add the Metadata section to a template to group the parameters that are defined in the Parameters section and define a label for each group.

After you define resources and parameters in a template, you can group parameters by resource or by resource parameter.

The following table lists parameter groups that are added based on the complete sample template. In this example, the parameters are grouped by resource name or resource parameter name.

Parameter group

Resource name

Resource parameter name

Display the valid values of a parameter based on a filter condition

If you want to specify a filter condition for a parameter and associate the parameter value with the filter condition chosen in the ROS console, you can specify AssociationProperty and AssociationPropertyMetadata in your template. In this example, the valid values of the ECSInstanceType parameter are displayed based on the value of ZoneId and InstanceChargeType. To specify AssociationProperty and AssociationPropertyMetadata in ECSInstanceType, use ALIYUN::ECS::InstanceGroup to query the value of AssociationProperty that is supported by ECSInstanceType in the documentation of ROS. The following value is queried: ALIYUN::ECS::Instance::InstanceType. Then, query the value of AssociationPropertyMetadata when AssociationProperty is set to ALIYUN::ECS::Instance::InstanceType and when ZoneId and InstanceChargeType are used as filter conditions. For more information about the documentation, see AssociationProperty and AssociationPropertyMetadata.
