Virtual Private Cloud:RetryVpcPrefixListAssociation

Last Updated:Sep 07, 2026

Redeploys the latest prefix list by calling the RetryVpcPrefixListAssociation operation.

Operation description

  • After you modify the information of a prefix list instance, if the route table associated with the prefix list instance does not automatically update the prefix list instance information, you can call this operation to redeploy the latest prefix list instance to the associated route table.

  • The RetryVpcPrefixListAssociation operation is asynchronous. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID. However, the latest prefix list instance is not yet redeployed, and the redeployment task is still running in the background. You can call GetVpcPrefixListAssociations to query the latest deployment status of the prefix list instance:
    • If the deployment status of the prefix list instance is Modifying, the latest prefix list instance is being redeployed.

    • If the deployment status of the prefix list instance is ModifyFailed, the latest prefix list instance failed to be redeployed.

    • If the deployment status of the prefix list instance is Created, the latest prefix list instance is redeployed.

  • The RetryVpcPrefixListAssociation operation does not support concurrent retry of redeploying the latest prefix list instance for the same prefix list.

Scenarios

When you modify a prefix list instance, the modification succeeds as long as the CIDR blocks are valid, no conflicting CIDR blocks exist, and the maximum number of entries for the prefix list instance is not exceeded. However, the reference may fail due to issues on the referencing side, such as quota limits or a route conflict with existing routing entries. After you resolve the issue on the referencing side, call the RetryVpcPrefixListAssociation operation to redeploy the latest prefix list instance.

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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

PrefixListId

string

Yes

The instance ID of the prefix list to redeploy.

pl-0b7hwu67****

ResourceType

string

Yes

The type of the resource associated with the prefix list instance. Valid values:

  • vpcRouteTable: VPC route table.

  • trRouteTable: transit router route table.

vpcRouteTable

ResourceId

string

Yes

The instance ID of the associated resource.

vtb-bp1drpcfz9srr393h****

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the API request as the ClientToken. The RequestId may differ for each API request.

123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run. The prefix list is not associated. The system checks the request for potential issues, including missing required parameters, request format, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false (default): performs a dry run and performs the actual request. If the request passes the dry run, an HTTP 2xx status code is returned and the prefix list is directly associated.

false

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the prefix list instance to redeploy.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.
