Anycast Elastic IP Address:Integration overview

Versions

Online debugging

Anycast EIP supports features such as online debugging in OpenAPI Explorer. Before you call API operations, make sure that you understand concepts such as the API version, endpoint, and integration method.

Online debugging for Anycast EIP

Endpoints

Select an endpoint based on the region where your resource resides to reduce latency.

For more information about access points of Anycast EIP, see Anycast EIP.

Identities

By default, after you log on to OpenAPI Explorer by using your Alibaba Cloud account, the Alibaba Cloud account is used to perform online debugging. An Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. If you use an Alibaba Cloud account to call API operations, security risks may arise. We strongly recommend that you call API operations or perform routine O&M as a Resource Access Management (RAM) user. Before you call API operations as a RAM user, grant the required permissions to the RAM user based on your business requirements. The RAM user needs to obtain the permissions on Anycast EIP resources. For more information, see Use RAM to implement access control.

For more information about user identities, see Identity.

Alibaba Cloud SDK

• Alibaba Cloud provides SDKs in multiple programming languages, including Java, C#, Go, Python, TypeScript, Node.js, PHP, and C++. Your applications integrated with the SDKs can directly call API operations. The SDKs encapsulate information such as the signature logic, timeout mechanism, and retry mechanism, and return structured response objects based on specifications. This provides convenience for developers. For more information, see Alibaba Cloud SDKs.

• You can use Alibaba Cloud SDKs to call Anycast EIP operations in OpenAPI Explorer. For more information about supported languages and dependencies, see Anycast EIP SDK.

Alibaba Cloud CLI

• You can run the aliyun command to interact with Alibaba Cloud services and manage cloud resources. For more information, see What is Alibaba Cloud CLI?

• You can use Alibaba Cloud CLI to call Anycast EIP operations. For more information, see Call RPC API and RESTful API.

Terraform

• Terraform is an open source tool that is used to securely and efficiently preview, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure and resources. Terraform works in a similar way as ROS. Terraform calls API operations by interpreting templates. For more information, see What is Terraform?

ROS

• ROS is an Alibaba Cloud service that helps you manage cloud computing resources in a simplified manner. You can compile stack templates to describe cloud computing resources, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and ApsaraDB RDS instances, and the dependencies between resources in the templates. The ROS engine automatically creates and configures all resources in a stack based on a template to implement automatic deployment and O&M. For more information, see What is ROS?

• You can use ROS to call Anycast EIP operations. The following resources are supported:

  • ALIYUN::VPC::AnycastEIP: creates an Anycast EIP.

  • ALIYUN::VPC::AnycastEIPAssociation: associates an Anycast EIP with an instance in a specified region.

Custom API encapsulation

If none of the preceding methods meets your business requirements, you can manually encapsulate API requests. However, this method is not recommended. For more information, see Request syntax and signature method V3.
