What is aliyun-alb-manage?

A guide for managing Alibaba Cloud Application Load Balancer (ALB), which receives incoming requests and sends them to application servers. It covers listeners, routing rules, server groups, certificates, access controls, and health checks.

Use it to inspect, create, update, or troubleshoot ALB instances, listeners, routing rules, certificates, access policies, and backend health checks.

It organizes load-balancer changes around inventory, before-and-after records, and health validation. This reduces the risk of changing the wrong listener, target group, or network resource.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Rogue Agent · line 16
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00061	$0.01019
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00509
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00204
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00102

Security

Grade A, and why

aliyun-alb-manage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 28 executable files (scripts/add_servers.py, scripts/check_health_status.py, scripts/create_listener.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Category: service

Application Load Balancer (ALB)

Use this skill for end-to-end ALB operations via local Python scripts and OpenAPI-compatible workflows.

Validation

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

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

Output And Evidence

Save all command outputs, request parameters, and API responses under output/aliyun-alb-manage/.
For change operations, keep before/after snapshots plus health-check results.

Prerequisites

pip install alibabacloud_alb20200616 alibabacloud_tea_openapi alibabacloud_credentials

Credential priority:

ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
Optional STS token: ALIBABACLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN
Shared config: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials

Workflow

Confirm region, VPC context, target ALB resource IDs, and expected change window.
Run inventory scripts first (list_*, get_*) and save baseline outputs.
Apply one change at a time (listener/server-group/rule/lb lifecycle).
Wait for async completion when needed (scripts/wait_for_job.py).
Validate final state with health checks and state re-query.

Top task playbooks

1) Read-only inventory and quick diagnosis

python3 scripts/list_acls.py --region cn-hangzhou --json --output output/aliyun-alb-manage/acls.json

2) Inspect one ALB and listener details

python3 scripts/get_instance_status.py --region cn-hangzhou --lb-id alb-xxx --view detail --output output/aliyun-alb-manage/lb-detail.json
python3 scripts/list_listeners.py --region cn-hangzhou --lb-id alb-xxx --json --output output/aliyun-alb-manage/listeners.json

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
