Elastic Compute Service:API overview

最終更新日:Feb 02, 2026

API standard and pre-built SDKs in multi-language

The OpenAPI specification of this product (ebs/2021-07-30) follows the RPC standard. Alibaba Cloud provides pre-built SDKs for popular programming languages to abstract low-level complexities such as request signing. This enables developers to call APIs using language-specific syntax without dealing with HTTP details directly.

Custom signature

If your specific needs, such as a customized signature, are not supported by the SDK, manually sign requests using the signature mechanism. Note that manual signing requires significant effort (usually about 5 business days). For support, join our DingTalk group (ID: 147535001692).

Before you begin

An Alibaba Cloud account has full administrative privileges. A compromised AccessKey pair exposes all associated resources to unauthorized access, posing a significant security risk. To call APIs securely, create a Resource Access Management (RAM) user with API access only, configure its AccessKey pairs, and implement the principle of least privilege (PoLP) through RAM policies. Use the Alibaba Cloud account only when its permissions are explicitly required for specific scenarios.

DeleteApp DeleteApp Deletes an application.
DeleteDiskReplicaGroup DeleteDiskReplicaGroup Deletes a replication pair-consistent group.
DeleteDiskReplicaPair DeleteDiskReplicaPair Deletes replication pairs.
DeleteEnterpriseSnapshotPolicy DeleteEnterpriseSnapshotPolicy Delete a enterprise-level snapshot policy.
DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusterDisks DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusterDisks Queries information about cloud disks in a dedicated block storage cluster.
DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusters DescribeDedicatedBlockStorageClusters Queries dedicated clusters.
DescribeDiskEvents DescribeDiskEvents Queries the risk events of a disk. The operation is getting offline. Switch to the new operation DescribeEvents.
DescribeDiskMonitorData DescribeDiskMonitorData Queries fine-grained monitoring data of a disk.
DescribeDiskMonitorDataList DescribeDiskMonitorDataList Queries fine-grained monitoring data of multiple disks. You can query only the burst performance data of ESSD AutoPL disks. The data is aggregated by hour.
DescribeDiskReplicaPairProgress DescribeDiskReplicaPairProgress Queries the replication progress of a replication pair.
DescribeEnterpriseSnapshotPolicy DescribeEnterpriseSnapshotPolicy Queries the information about enterprise-level snapshot policies. When you call this operation, you can specify parameters, such as PolicyIds, ResourceGroupId, and Tag, in the request.
DescribeLensMonitorDisks DescribeLensMonitorDisks Queries information about one or more of your Elastic Block Storage (EBS) disks.
DescribeLensServiceStatus DescribeLensServiceStatus Queries the status of CloudLens for EBS.
DescribePairDrills DescribePairDrills Queries the disaster recovery drills that were performed on the replication pair whose secondary disk resides in a specific region.
DescribeRegions DescribeRegions Queries the details of regions in which Elastic Block Storage (EBS) features (such as async replication, CloudLens for EBS, and Dedicated Block Storage Cluster) are supported.
DescribeReplicaGroupDrills DescribeReplicaGroupDrills Queries the disaster recovery drills that were performed on the replication pair-consistent group whose secondary disk resides in a specific region.
DescribeSolutionInstanceConfiguration DescribeSolutionInstanceConfiguration Queries the default configurations of a solution.
DescribeUserTagKeys DescribeUserTagKeys Centralized Role: Query User Disk Snapshot tagKeys
DescribeUserTagValues DescribeUserTagValues Centralized Role: Query User Disk and Snapshot tagValues
FailoverDiskReplicaGroup FailoverDiskReplicaGroup Enables the failover feature for replication pairs in a replication pair-consistent group. When the primary disks of specific replication pairs in a replication pair-consistent group fail, you can call this operation to enable the read and write permissions on the secondary disks.
FailoverDiskReplicaPair FailoverDiskReplicaPair Enables the failover feature for replication pairs.
GetReport Get User Cloud Disk Usage Report Centralized Role: Obtain User Usage Report with reportId
ListTagResources ListTagResources Queries the tags that are added to EBS resources, or queries the IDs and tags of resources in a non-default resource group.

RemoveDiskReplicaPair RemoveDiskReplicaPair Removes a replication pair from a replication pair-consistent group. After a replication pair is removed from a replication pair-consistent group, the pair is disassociated from the group but is not deleted.
ReprotectDiskReplicaGroup ReprotectDiskReplicaGroup Enables the reverse replication feature for replication pairs that belong to a replication pair-consistent group. After reverse replication is enabled, data stored on the original secondary disks is replicated to the original primary disks. When a reverse replication is being performed, the primary and secondary sites of the replication pair-consistent group remain unchanged, but data is replicated from the secondary site to the primary site.
ReprotectDiskReplicaPair ReprotectDiskReplicaPair Enables the reverse replication feature for a replication pair.
SetDedicatedBlockStorageClusterDiskThroughput SetDedicatedBlockStorageClusterDiskThroughput In the elastic type dedicated block storage cluster, you can easily achieve the specified throughput (Bps) for the target disk. You only need to set the cloud disk ID and the target throughput, simplifying the process of configuring.
StartDiskReplicaGroup StartDiskReplicaGroup Enables the async replication feature for replication pairs that belong to a replication pair-consistent group. The first time the async replication feature is enabled for the replication pairs, the system performs a full synchronization to synchronize all data from disks at the primary site (primary disks) to disks at the secondary site (secondary disks). Then, the system periodically synchronizes incremental data based on the recovery point objective (RPO) of the replication pair-consistent group.
StartDiskReplicaPair StartDiskReplicaPair Activates the async replication feature for a specific replication pair.
StartPairDrill StartPairDrill Starts a disaster recovery drill to ensure the continued replication and clone the data from the last recovery point of the secondary disk to a new disk. This helps you test the completeness and correctness of applications that are deployed on the disaster recovery site on a regular basis.
StartReplicaGroupDrill StartReplicaGroupDrill Starts a disaster recovery drill in a replication pair-consistent group to ensure the continued replication and restores data from the latest recovery point of secondary disks to new disks. This helps test the completeness and correctness of applications that are deployed on the disaster recovery site on a regular basis.
