CreateEndpointGroup - Global Accelerator - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Creates an endpoint group.

Operation description

When you call this operation to create a virtual endpoint group for a Layer 4 listener, make sure that a default endpoint group is created.
CreateEndpointGroup is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns the ID of an endpoint group, but the endpoint group is still being created in the system background. You can call the DescribeEndpointGroup operation to query the state of the endpoint group.
- If the endpoint group is in the init state, it indicates that the endpoint group is being created. In this case, you can perform only query operations.
- If the endpoint group is in the active state, it indicates that the endpoint group is created.
The CreateEndpointGroup operation cannot be repeatedly called for the same Global Accelerator (GA) instance within a specific period of time.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
- The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
- If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

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 request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.	123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000
