Resource replication scenario - Resource Orchestration Service

If you want to quickly replicate a collection of resources and dependencies between the resources, you can create a resource replication scenario.

Background information

When you create a resource replication scenario, Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) filters all resources within the specified scope and generates a source node to store the resources. ROS also adds new resources that are required for the scenario and generates a new node to replicate resources. ROS generates a stack based on the content on the new node. This way, ROS replicates a collection of resources that have the same architecture as the resources on the source node. You can view the stack on the Stacks tab of the scenario management page.

For more information, see Terms and How a scenario works.

Step 1: Create a resource replication scenario

Log on to the ROS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Scenarios.
In the top navigation bar, select a region where you want to create the scenario from the region drop-down list.
On the Scenarios page, click Create Scenario.
In the Create Scenario dialog box, specify Description and select Resource Replication as Select Scenario Type.
Configure the parameters in the Resource Range section.
- Select resources that are associated with specified tags.
  1. Select Source Tag as Method.
  2. In the Source Tag section, configure Tag Key and Tag Value based on your business requirements.
    Note
    Specify tags that are added to existing resources. You can specify up to 10 tags.
  3. (Optional) Select resource types from the Resource Type drop-down list.
    You can select up to 15 resource types.
- Select resources that belong to a specified resource group.
  1. Select Source Resource Group as Method.
  2. Select a resource group from the Source Resource Group drop-down list.
  3. (Optional) Select resource types from the Resource Type drop-down list.
    You can select up to 15 resource types.
- Select specified resources.
  1. Select Source Resource as Method.
  2. In the Source Resource section, select resource types from the Resource Type drop-down list and resource IDs from the Resource ID drop-down list.
    You can select up to 20 resource types.

In the Configure Scenario section, configure parameters for resources that you want to replicate.

Parameter	Description
Delete Resource	Valid values: No: Retains the resources when the generated stack is deleted after the resources are replicated to the stack. Yes: Deletes the resources when the generated stack is deleted after the resources are replicated to the stack. You can specify the resources that you want to retain in the Delete Stack dialog box when you delete the stack.
Destination Region	The destination region of the resources. By default, the region of the source resources is used.
Destination Zone	The destination zone of the resources. By default, if you replicate resources within the same region, the zone of the source resources is used. If you replicate resources across regions, the system automatically selects a zone.
Destination VPC	The destination virtual private cloud (VPC) of the resources. By default, if you replicate resources within the same region, the VPC of the source resources is used. If you replicate resources across regions, the system automatically creates a VPC. Note Make sure that the VPC CIDR blocks of the replicated resources contain the VPC CIDR blocks of the source resources.
Destination vSwitch	The destination vSwitch of the resources. By default, if you replicate resources within the same region, the vSwitch of the source resources is used. If you replicate resources across regions, the system automatically creates a vSwitch. Note Make sure that the vSwitch CIDR blocks of the replicated resources contain the vSwitch CIDR blocks of the source resources.
Replicate ECS Instance Data	This parameter takes effect only if the source resources contain an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance. If you select Replicate ECS Instance Data, ROS replicates the data on the ECS instance. To ensure data consistency, you must stop the source ECS instance before ROS replicates the instance data.
Tags	You can add tags to or remove tags from resources. Note You can add up to 20 tags to each resource.

Click Create.
After the scenario is created, Created appears in the Status column on the Scenarios page.

Step 2: Replicate resources

On the Scenarios page, click the ID of the scenario.
In the upper-right corner of the scenario management page, click Replicate Resource.
Click OK.
After the resources are replicated, click Disable.

Step 3: View replicated resources

On the scenario management page, click the Stacks tab. Then, click the ID of the stack to which the replicated resources belong.
On the stack management page, click the Resources tab to view the details of the replicated resources.
