Resource Management:Create and manage custom transfer rules

Prerequisites

The automatic resource transfer feature is enabled. For more information, see Enable the Automatic Resource Transfer feature.

Create a custom transfer rule

1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Group > Automatic Resource Transfer.

3. On the Transfer Based on Custom Rules tab, click Create Rule.

   

4. Configure the customer transfer rule.

   Parameter	Description
   Rule Name	The name of the custom transfer rule. It can be up to 128 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
   Rule Description	The description of the custom transfer rule. The description can be up to 512 characters in length.
   Effective Scope	All Resources: indicates all resources that support custom rule-based automatic transfer. For information about the supported resource types, see Resource types that support custom rule-based automatic transfer. Note Selecting All Resources automatically includes newly supported resource types. Custom Resource Scope: You can specify a resource range by resource type, resource group, region, or resource.
   Destination Resource Group	The resource group to which you want resources to transfer.
   Transfer Conditions	If a resource meets the transfer conditions, it is automatically transferred to the specified destination resource group. Transfer conditions consist of the following parts: Resource property: the condition key used to filter resources. You can filter resources by name, tag, VPC, or vSwitch. Note Transfers based on tags, VPCs, or vSwitches will not work for resource types that lack these properties. Before you configure automatic transfer rules, you must check whether the target resources have the relevant properties in Resource Center. Operator: the comparison logic between resource properties and expected values. The StringEqualsAny, NotStringEqualsAll, and StringMatch operators are supported. Expected value: the specific content used for comparison with the actual properties of resources. The formats of expected values vary based on the operator. You can use one of the following methods to configure transfer conditions: Single Condition: This method is suitable for simple resource filtering. Combined Conditions: You can use the and or or logical operator to connect sub-conditions and implement nested conditions. This method is suitable for complex resource filtering.

   Example 1: Enable the system to automatically transfer all resources with the project:project A tag to the Project-A resource group.

   

   Example 2: Enable the system to automatically transfer the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances to which the project:project A tag is added or whose names contain projectA to the Project-A resource group.

   

   

5. Click Query Matching Resources to view the resources that meet the specified conditions, and check whether the resources meet your expectations.

   

6. Click OK.
