Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Validation

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

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

Output And Evidence

• Save list/summarize outputs under output/aliyun-vpc-manage/.
• Keep command arguments and region scope in each evidence file.

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage VPC resources. Prefer the Python SDK for all examples and execution.

Prerequisites

pip install alibabacloud_vpc20160428 alibabacloud_tea_openapi alibabacloud_credentials

• Prepare AccessKey (RAM user/role with least privilege).
• Choose the correct region and endpoint (public/VPC).
• VPC OpenAPI is RPC style; prefer SDK or OpenAPI Explorer to avoid manual signing.

API behavior notes (from VPC docs)

• DescribeVpcs and DescribeVSwitches support pagination via PageNumber + PageSize.
• DescribeVpcs requires RegionId in the request.
• CreateVpc returns VpcId immediately but VPC enters Pending status; poll with DescribeVpcs until Available.
• CreateVSwitch requires an existing VPC in Available status and a valid ZoneId.
• DeleteVpc fails if VPC still has VSwitches, security groups, or other resources attached.
• DeleteVSwitch fails if VSwitch still has ECS instances or other resources.

Workflow

1. Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action.
2. Find API group and exact operation name in references/api_overview.md.
3. Call API with Python SDK (preferred) or OpenAPI Explorer.
4. Verify results with describe/list APIs.
5. If you need repeatable inventory or summaries, use scripts/ and write outputs under output/aliyun-vpc-manage/.

SDK priority

1. Python SDK (preferred)
2. OpenAPI Explorer
3. Other SDKs (only if Python is not feasible)
