除ECS管理控制台外,您还能通过API管理ECS实例。阿里云提供了多语言版本SDK来封装API。本文基于Python语言介绍如何通过API查询ECS实例。

背景信息

查询ECS实例相关信息的完整代码示例,请参见完整代码。代码示例解析,请参见:

更多代码示例,请参见阿里云代码示例库(CodeSample)

获取RAM用户AccessKey

使用API管理ECS实例,您需要能访问ECS资源的AccessKey(AccessKey ID和AccessKey Secret)。为了保证云服务的安全,您需要创建一个能访问ECS资源的RAM用户,获取该用户的AccessKey,并使用这个RAM用户和API管理ECS实例。

按以下步骤获取RAM用户AccessKey:

  1. 创建RAM用户。具体操作,请参见创建RAM用户
  2. 获取RAM用户AccessKey。具体操作,请参见创建AccessKey
  3. 为RAM用户授权,授予RAM用户管理云服务器服务(ECS)的权限AliyunECSFullAccess)。具体操作,请参见为RAM用户授权

安装ECS Python SDK

首先确保您已经具备Python的Runtime,本文中使用的Python版本为2.7+。

运行以下命令,安装Python SDK:
pip install aliyun-python-sdk-ecs
如果提示您没有权限,请切换 sudo继续执行。
sudo pip install aliyun-python-sdk-ecs

本文使用的SDK版本为2.1.2。

完整代码

本文的完整代码如下所示,您可以自行根据实际情况修改代码内容。
#  coding=utf-8
# if the python sdk is not install using 'sudo pip install aliyun-python-sdk-ecs'
# if the python sdk is install using 'sudo pip install --upgrade aliyun-python-sdk-ecs'
# make sure the sdk version is greater than 2.1.2, you can use command 'pip show aliyun-python-sdk-ecs' to check

    if response is not None:

    logging.info("Hello Aliyun OpenApi!")
    hello_aliyun_regions()
    list_instances()

查询当前账号支持的地域列表

创建文件hello_ecs_api.py。为了使用SDK,首先实例化AcsClient对象,这里需要RAM用户的AccessKey ID和AccessKey Secret。

说明 AccessKey ID和AccessKey Secret是RAM用户访问阿里云ECS服务API的密钥,具有该账户完全的权限,请妥善保管,避免泄露。
import json
import logging
from aliyunsdkcore import client
from aliyunsdkecs.request.v20140526.DescribeInstancesRequest import DescribeInstancesRequest
from aliyunsdkecs.request.v20140526.DescribeRegionsRequest import DescribeRegionsRequest
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s %(filename)s[line:%(lineno)d] %(levelname)s %(message)s', datefmt='%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S')
clt = client.AcsClient('<accessKeyId>', '<accessSecret>', '<region-Id>')
完成实例化后。查询当前账号支持的地域列表。详情请参见 DescribeRegions
def hello_aliyun_regions():
    request = DescribeRegionsRequest()
    response = _send_request(request)
    region_list = response.get('Regions').get('Region')
    assert response is not None
    assert region_list is not None
    result = map(_print_region_id, region_list)
    logging.info("region list: %s", list(result))
def _print_region_id(item):
    region_id = item.get("RegionId")
    return region_id
def _send_request(request):
    request.set_accept_format('json')
    try:
        response_str = clt.do_action(request)
        logging.info(response_str)
        response_detail = json.loads(response_str)
        return response_detail
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(e)
hello_aliyun_regions()
在命令行运行 python hello_ecs_api.py会得到当前支持的Region列表。输出示例如下:
region list: ['cn-qingdao', 'cn-beijing', 'cn-zhangjiakou', 'cn-huhehaote', 'cn-wulanchabu', 'cn-hangzhou', 'cn-shanghai', 'cn-shenzhen', 'cn-heyuan', 'cn-guangzhou', 'cn-chengdu', 'cn-hongkong', 'ap-northeast-1', 'ap-southeast-1', 'ap-southeast-2', 'ap-southeast-3', 'ap-southeast-5', 'ap-south-1', 'us-east-1', 'us-west-1', 'eu-west-1']

查询指定地域下的ECS实例

查询实例列表和查询Region列表的方法相似,替换入参对象为DescribeInstancesRequest并定制相关变量即可,更多查询实例列表API的详情,请参见DescribeInstances

def list_instances():
    request = DescribeInstancesRequest()
    response = _send_request(request)
    if response is not None:
        instance_list = response.get('Instances').get('Instance')
        result = map(_print_instance_id, instance_list)
        logging.info("current region include instance %s", list(result))
def _print_instance_id(item):
    instance_id = item.get('InstanceId')
    return instance_id
def _send_request(request):
    request.set_accept_format('json')
    try:
        response_str = clt.do_action(request)
        logging.info(response_str)
        response_detail = json.loads(response_str)
        return response_detail
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(e)
list_instances()
输出结果示例如下:
current region include instance ['i-bp165p6xk2tmdhj0****', 'i-bp1a01zbqmsun5odo****'']

更多查询资源的API,请参见API概览。例如,您可以尝试查询磁盘列表(DescribeDisks),替换入参对象为DescribeDisksRequest并定制相关变量即可。
