Alibaba Cloud's ROS API gateway resource was officially launched in early November. Resource Orchestration (ROS) supports defining API gateway resources in templates, helping users manage and publish their own APIs quickly and conveniently. Currently, Alibaba Cloud ROS products are freely available to users.
Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) is a service that helps Alibaba Cloud users simplify cloud computing resource management and automate O&M. Users follow the template specification defined by ROS, write template files, and define the set of cloud computing resources required, the dependencies between resources, and resource configuration details in the template. ROS automatically completes the creation and configuration of all resources through the orchestration engine to achieve The purpose of automated deployment, operation and maintenance. The layout template is a user-readable and easy-to-write text file. Users can control the version of the template through version control tools such as SVN and Git to achieve the purpose of controlling the infrastructure version. Users can use API, SDK, etc. The orchestration capability is integrated with its own applications to achieve infrastructure as code (Infrastructure as Code).
API Gateway provides high-performance, high-availability API hosting services, helps users open their applications deployed on Alibaba Cloud products such as ECS and container services, and provides complete API release, management, and maintenance lifecycle management. Users only need to perform simple operations to open data or services quickly, at low cost, and with low risk.
"In order to facilitate users on Alibaba Cloud to use Alibaba Cloud's API gateway, manage, publish, and maintain their own APIs, ROS provides another method." The person in charge of ROS at Alibaba Cloud said that users only need to follow their own needs and according to the ROS template specification , define your own API management template, you can easily create/update API groups, create/update APIs, release or version APIs, and update API authorization, signature, flow control, etc. configuration.
Users can easily save the template as the schema of their own API in the version control tool, and publish the definition of their own API, just like managing code. The creation, release, and distribution of API are all streamlined. Development and operation personnel modify the original API template or create a new API template, submit a release application, and other senior personnel do pre-release review. After the review is passed, the template is finally submitted to ROS for release. Or update your own API. Make the life cycle management of the API more convenient, and all changes can be traced.
For users who use API Gateway to manage their own APIs, they can use ROS's API Gateway resources to complete the creation, release, and configuration of APIs. Combined with the Infrastructure as Code method implemented by ROS, as before, it can help API developers or operation and maintenance personnel to fully realize the management automation of API life cycle and realize the DevOpsization of API management.
The person in charge of Alibaba Cloud ROS introduced that Alibaba Cloud ROS now supports ECS resources, RDS resources, VPC private network, load balancing, OSS storage, ESS elastic scaling, RAM access control and other resources. The vast majority of users manage their own infrastructure as easily as managing their own code.
