Huawei Cloud Cce Cluster Management

Other

Huawei Cloud CCE (Cloud Container Engine) cluster lifecycle management skill using Python SDK v3. Use this skill when the user wants to: (1) create, delete, hibernate, or awake CCE clusters, (2) list clusters and query cluster/node/nodepool/addon information, (3) manage node pools (create, delete, resize), (4) manage nodes (create, delete, cordon, uncordon, drain), (5) manage addons (install, uninstall, update), (6) bind/unbind cluster EIP for public access, (7) get cluster kubeconfig. Trigger: user mentions "CCE cluster", "create cluster", "delete cluster", "node pool", "node management", "hibernate cluster", "awake cluster", "addon", "kubeconfig", "EIP binding", "CCE 集群", "创建集群", "删除集群", "节点池", "节点管理", "休眠集群", "唤醒集群", "插件", "kubeconfig", "EIP 绑定"

Huawei Cloud CCE Cluster Management

Overview

Manage CCE (Cloud Container Engine) cluster lifecycle, including cluster creation/deletion/hibernation/awakening, node pool management, node scheduling control, and addon management.

⛔ Security Constraints

Dangerous Operation Confirmation Mechanism

This skill strictly enforces a two-step confirmation mechanism for all dangerous operations to prevent accidental service disruption or data loss.

All dangerous operations require confirm=true parameter to execute. Otherwise, they return a preview and confirmation prompt.

Operations Requiring Confirmation

ToolOperation TypeRisk LevelDescription
huawei_delete_cce_clusterDelete🔴 CriticalDeletes entire CCE cluster, irreversible
huawei_hibernate_cce_clusterHibernate🟠 HighStops all workloads, pauses control plane billing
huawei_awake_cce_clusterAwake🟠 HighResumes cluster from hibernation
huawei_resize_cce_nodepoolScale🟡 MediumAdjusts node pool size, affects capacity
huawei_delete_cce_nodepoolDelete🟠 HighDeletes node pool, affects business capacity
huawei_delete_cce_nodeDelete🟠 HighRemoves node from cluster, affects scheduling
huawei_uninstall_cce_addonUninstall🟠 HighRemoves addon, may affect cluster functionality
huawei_cce_node_cordonCordon🟡 MediumMarks node unschedulable, new pods won't be assigned
huawei_cce_node_uncordonUncordon🟡 MediumMarks node schedulable, new pods may be assigned immediately
huawei_cce_node_drainDrain🟠 HighEvicts all pods from node, affects running workloads

Workflow

Step 1: Preview Operation - Call without confirm parameter

# Example: Preview cluster deletion
python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_delete_cce_cluster \
  region=cn-north-4 \
  cluster_id=xxx

Returns: operation preview, risk warning, confirmation example

Step 2: Confirm Execution - Call with confirm=true

# Example: Confirm and execute deletion
python3 scripts/huawei-cloud.py huawei_delete_cce_cluster \
  region=cn-north-4 \
  cluster_id=xxx \
  confirm=true

Credential Security

This skill strictly follows these security rules:

  1. No persistent credential storage - Never saves AK/SK, tokens, or certificates to disk
  2. No long-term memory cache - AK/SK exists only during API call, released afterward
  3. Only project ID memory cache - Non-sensitive project ID cached in process memory
  4. No credential leakage - Never includes AK/SK in logs, responses, or errors
  5. Temporary file cleanup - If temporary cert files are created, they are deleted immediately after use

AK/SK usage methods:

  • Environment variables HW_ACCESS_KEY / HW_SECRET_KEY / HW_REGION_NAME (process-level, not saved)
  • Per-call parameter (valid only for that call)

Prerequisites

Python Environment

  • Python 3.8+
  • Install SDKs: pip install huaweicloudsdkcce huaweicloudsdkcore
  • Optional for node operations: pip install kubernetes

Environment Variables (Recommended)

export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your-access-key-id"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-access-key"
export HW_REGION_NAME="cn-north-4"

IAM Permission Policies

Ensure the IAM user has the minimum required permissions:

Output Format

All tools return JSON-formatted results containing:

  • status: operation result (success / error)
  • data: operation-specific response (cluster info, node list, addon details, etc.)
  • message: human-readable description of the result
  • warning: risk warning for dangerous operations (preview mode only)

Verification

See verification-method.md for detailed verification steps. Quick checklist:

  1. Verify AK/SK credentials are configured via environment variables
  2. Run huawei_list_cce_clusters to confirm API connectivity
  3. Test dangerous operation preview (call without confirm=true)
  4. Verify Turbo cluster ENI network configuration

Best Practices

  • Use environment variables (HW_ACCESS_KEY / HW_SECRET_KEY) for credentials — avoid hardcoding
  • Always preview dangerous operations before confirming with confirm=true
  • Use Turbo clusters (container_network_type=eni) for high-performance workloads
  • Resize node pools during low-traffic periods to minimize business impact
  • Keep node pools at ≥2 nodes for production workloads to ensure redundancy
  • Regularly check cluster health via huawei_list_cce_clusters and huawei_show_cce_cluster

Notes

  • Ensure AK/SK has correct IAM permissions
  • Different regions may have different resource availability
  • All dangerous operations require confirmation
  • Deletion operations are irreversible
  • Hibernate cluster stops all workloads - use during non-business hours
  • Node drain evicts all pods - ensure sufficient replicas
  • Turbo clusters recommended for best performance with ENI network
