Cloud Backup
Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage resources for Cloud Backup.
Workflow
- Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action.
- Discover API list and required parameters (see references).
- Call API with SDK or OpenAPI Explorer.
- Verify results with describe/list APIs.
AccessKey priority (must follow)
- Environment variables:
ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID/ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET/ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_IDRegion policy:ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_IDis an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user. - Shared config file:
~/.alibabacloud/credentials
API discovery
- Product code:
hbr - Default API version:
2017-09-08 - Use OpenAPI metadata endpoints to list APIs and get schemas (see references).
High-frequency operation patterns
- Inventory/list: prefer
List*/Describe*APIs to get current resources. - Change/configure: prefer
Create*/Update*/Modify*/Set*APIs for mutations. - Status/troubleshoot: prefer
Get*/Query*/Describe*StatusAPIs for diagnosis.
Minimal executable quickstart
Use metadata-first discovery before calling business APIs:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.pyOptional overrides:
python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py --product-code <ProductCode> --version <Version>The script writes API inventory artifacts under the skill output directory.
Output policy
If you need to save responses or generated artifacts, write them under: output/aliyun-hbr-backup/
Validation
mkdir -p output/aliyun-hbr-backup
for f in skills/backup/aliyun-hbr-backup/scripts/*.py; do
python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-hbr-backup/validate.txtPass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-hbr-backup/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under
output/aliyun-hbr-backup/. - Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Prerequisites
- Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
- Prefer environment variables:
ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID,ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optionalALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID. - If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
