Creates a Global Accelerator (GA) instance. GA is a high-availability and high-performance network acceleration service for global users. By leveraging the high-quality BGP bandwidth and global network of Alibaba Cloud, GA allows service providers to deploy applications across regions and users to connect to the nearest access points for content delivery acceleration. This reduces network issues, such as network latency, network jitters, and packet loss.
Operation description
Description
CreateAccelerator is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns the ID of a GA instance, but the operation is still being performed in the system background. You can call the DescribeAccelerator operation to query the state of a GA instance.
- If the GA instance is in the init state, it indicates that the GA instance is being created. In this case, you can perform only query operations.
- If the GA instance is in the active state, it indicates that the GA instance is created.
