Alibaba Cloud CDN

Purpose

Use Alibaba Cloud CDN OpenAPI (RPC) for common operations and integrations including:

• accelerated domain lifecycle (create/configure/start-stop/delete)
• cache refresh and preload (directory/file/domain)
• HTTPS certificate configuration and updates
• log and monitoring queries (real-time/offline)

Prerequisites

• least-privilege RAM credentials are ready (STS temporary creds recommended).
• domain ownership and acceleration scope policy are confirmed (mainland/global).
• before mutating operations, validate current state using read-only APIs.

Workflow

1. Define target resources: accelerated domains, business type, change window, and rollback criteria.
2. Run API discovery and confirm target API names, required parameters, and version.
3. Query current config/state with read-only APIs (Describe*) first.
4. Execute mutating APIs (Add*/Set*/BatchSet*/Delete*) and record request context.
5. Validate changes with monitoring/log APIs and save evidence in output/aliyun-cdn-manage/.

AccessKey Priority

1. Environment variables:ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALICLOUD_REGION_ID
2. Shared credentials file:~/.alibabacloud/credentials

If region/environment is unclear, confirm with user before mutating operations.

API Discovery

• Product code: cdn
• Default API version: 2018-05-10
• Metadata source: https://api.aliyun.com/meta/v1/products/cdn/versions/2018-05-10/api-docs.json

Minimal Executable Quickstart

bash

python skills/network/cdn/aliyun-cdn-manage/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py

Optional arguments:

bash

python skills/network/cdn/aliyun-cdn-manage/scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py \
  --product-code cdn \
  --version 2018-05-10 \
  --output-dir output/aliyun-cdn-manage

Common Operation Map

• Domain management:AddCdnDomain、DescribeUserDomains、DescribeCdnDomainDetail、DeleteCdnDomain
• Cache refresh/preload:RefreshObjectCaches（refresh）、PushObjectCache（preload）
• HTTPS certificate: SetDomainServerCertificate, DescribeDomainCertificateInfo
• Logs and monitoring:DescribeCdnDomainLogs、DescribeDomainRealTimeRequestStatData、DescribeDomainRealTimeBpsData

Output Policy

Write generated files and execution evidence to: output/aliyun-cdn-manage/

Validation

bash

mkdir -p output/aliyun-cdn-manage
for f in skills/network/cdn/aliyun-cdn-manage/scripts/*.py; do
  python3 -m py_compile "$f"
done
echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-cdn-manage/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-cdn-manage/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

• Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/aliyun-cdn-manage/.
• 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: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optional ALICLOUD_REGION_ID.
• If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
