Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Type

Required

Description

Example

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance.

cn-hangzhou

VServerGroupId

string

Yes

The ID of the vServer group.

rsp-cige6******

BackendServers

string

Yes

The backend servers that you want to add. Configure the following parameters:

  • ServerId: Required. The ID of the backend server. Specify the ID in a string. You can specify the ID of an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance, an elastic network interface (ENI), and an elastic container instance. If you set ServerId to the ID of an ENI or an elastic container instance, you must configure the Type parameter.

  • Weight: the weight of the backend server. Valid values: 0 to 100. Default value: 100. If you set the weight of a backend server to 0, no requests are forwarded to the backend server.

  • Description: Optional. The description of the backend server. Specify the description in a string. The description must be 1 to 80 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), forward slashes (/), periods (.), and underscores (_).

  • Type: the type of the backend server. Valid values:

    • ecs (default): ECS instance

    • eni: ENI

    • eci: elastic container instance

Note

You can specify ENIs and elastic container instances as backend servers only for high-performance SLB instances.

  • ServerIp: the IP address of an ENI or an elastic container instance.

  • Port: the backend port.

Examples:

  • Add an ECS instance:

    [{ "ServerId": "i-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "ecs", "Port":"80","Description":"test-112" }]

  • Add an ENI:

    [{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-112" }]

  • Add an ENI with multiple IP addresses:

    [{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-113" },{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "172.166.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-113" }]

  • Add an elastic container instance:

    [{ "ServerId": "eci-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eci", "ServerIp": "192.168.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-114" }]

Note

You can add only running backend servers to SLB instances. You can specify at most 20 backend servers in each call.

[{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "192.168.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-112" },{ "ServerId": "eni-xxxxxxxxx", "Weight": "100", "Type": "eni", "ServerIp": "172.166.**.**", "Port":"80","Description":"test-113" }]
