Project description
Ali CLI
Wraps the Alibaba Cloud SDK to make complicated tasks a lot simpler.
Installation
Installation is easy, run the following command to install the CLI through Pip:
pip install ali-cli
Then run the CLI using the command ali
. You should see the default help output with the supported commands.
Configuration
To connect the CLI to your Alibaba Cloud account, you will either need to use the official Aliyun CLI to
configure your credentials or create the configuration manually. To use the CLI, run aliyun configure
and follow the prompts. If you don't want
to install the official CLI, you can manually create the file ~/.aliyun/config.json
with the following contents:
{
"current": "",
"profiles": [
{
"name": "",
"mode": "AK",
"access_key_id": "ACCESS_KEY_ID",
"access_key_secret": "ACCESS_KEY_SECRET",
"sts_token": "",
"ram_role_name": "",
"ram_role_arn": "",
"ram_session_name": "",
"private_key": "",
"key_pair_name": "",
"expired_seconds": 0,
"verified": "",
"region_id": "eu-central-1",
"output_format": "json",
"language": "zh",
"site": "",
"retry_timeout": 0,
"retry_count": 0
}
]
}
Replace ACCESS_KEY_ID
with your access key ID and ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
with your access key secret. Optionally, you can change the region to the region you like (eu-central-1
is Frankfurt).
Supported services
- Key Management Service (KMS) - documentation
- Message Service (MNS) - documentation
- Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) - documentation
Key Management Service (KMS)
Supports listing of Customer Master Keys (CMK), encryption and decryption with and without data key.
To see a list of supported commands, use ali kms
.
Message Service (MNS)
As the official Alibaba Cloud CLI has no support for Message Service, we decided that it would be nice to have support for it in Ali CLI. We currently support the following operations on queues and messages:
-
Creating a queue -
ali mns queue create --name NAME
-
Listing queues -
ali mns queue list
-
Getting queue attributes -
ali mns queue get --name NAME
-
Deleting a queue -
ali mns queue delete --name NAME
-
Sending a message -
echo '{"success": true}' | ali mns queue send-message --name NAME --message-body -
-
Receiving a single message -
ali mns queue receive-message --name NAME
-
Receiving a batch of messages -
ali mns queue receive-messages --name NAME --num-of-messages 10
-
Peeking at a message -
ali mns queue peek-message --name NAME
-
Peeking at a batch of messages -
ali mns queue peek-messages --name NAME --num-of-messages 10
-
Deleting a message from a queue -
ali mns queue delete-message --name NAME --handle RECEIPT_HANDLE
Topics and subscriptions will be supported at a later point in time.
Resource Orchestration Service (ROS)
Ali CLI supports most of the ROS functions. This allows you to deploy JSON templates as stacks, so you can use code to define your whole infrastructure.
To deploy an example bucket, run the following command:
ali ros create-stack --name ali-ros-test --template examples/ros/bucket.json --parameters BucketName=my-fancy-bucket
This will create the stack ali-ros-test
, using the template in the examples/ros/bucket.json
file and specifies the values to use for the
template parameters. You can specify multiple parameters if necessary by repeating the --parameters <key>=<val>
option as many times as you need.
Feel free to modify the stack name and templates if you like. You can also specify -
for the template, which means that it
will be read from stdin. Type or paste the template in the prompt and press Ctrl-D to send it into the CLI.
To list stacks, run ali ros describe-stacks
. This will output all the stacks in the current region.
To delete a stack, run ali ros delete-stack --name ali-ros-test
. This will remove the stack you created above, including the provisioned resources.
Although the Alibaba ROS API's only support JSON templates, Ali CLI can also deploy YAML templates. We do this by converting your YAML into JSON
before creating the stack. Examples of both JSON and YAML templates can be found in the examples/ros
directory.
