About

alicloud-network-dns-cli-test is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills for validating Alibaba Cloud DNS and network settings from the command line. Developers use it before domain cutover, CDN changes, or customer-facing launches when misconfigured records would cause outages or split traffic. The skill follows the alicloud-skills service pattern: confirm region and resource identifiers, discover required OpenAPI parameters, execute CLI or SDK calls, and verify outcomes with describe or list APIs. Reach for it when you need repeatable DNS resolution checks and routing confirmation rather than ad hoc dashboard clicks.

  • Aliyun CLI DNS command patterns
  • Record creation and lookup validation
  • Resolution and propagation checks
  • Network routing smoke tests
  • Launch-blocking infra verification

How do you test Alibaba Cloud DNS before cutover?

Run CLI-based DNS and network configuration tests on Alibaba Cloud to confirm records, routing, and resolution before domain cutover or customer-facing launch.

Who is it for?

DevOps engineers on Alibaba Cloud who must CLI-verify DNS records and network routing before switching production domains.

Skip if: Teams managing unrelated Alibaba Cloud services like HBR backup without DNS or network cutover validation needs.

When should I use this skill?

User needs Alibaba Cloud DNS CLI tests, network resolution checks, or pre-cutover domain validation on Aliyun infrastructure.

What you get

DNS resolution test results, routing verification log, and pre-launch network checklist

  • DNS test report
  • Pre-cutover verification checklist

Cloud Backup

Use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI (RPC) with official SDKs or OpenAPI Explorer to manage resources for Cloud Backup.

Workflow

1) Confirm region, resource identifiers, and desired action. 2) Discover API list and required parameters (see references). 3) Call API with SDK or OpenAPI Explorer. 4) Verify results with describe/list APIs.

AccessKey priority (must follow)

1) Environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET / ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID Region policy: ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID is an optional default. If unset, decide the most reasonable region for the task; if unclear, ask the user. 2) Shared config file: ~/.alibabacloud/credentials

API discovery

  • Product code: hbr
  • Default API version: 2017-09-08
  • Use OpenAPI metadata endpoints to list APIs and get schemas (see references).

High-frequency operation patterns

1) Inventory/list: prefer List* / Describe* APIs to get current resources. 2) Change/configure: prefer Create* / Update* / Modify* / Set* APIs for mutations. 3) Status/troubleshoot: prefer Get* / Query* / Describe*Status APIs for diagnosis.

Minimal executable quickstart

Use metadata-first discovery before calling business APIs:

python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py

Optional overrides:

python scripts/list_openapi_meta_apis.py --product-code <ProductCode> --version <Version>

The script writes API inventory artifacts under the skill output directory.

Output policy

If you need to save responses or generated artifacts, write them under: output/aliyun-hbr-backup/

Validation

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

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

Output And Evidence

  • Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/aliyun-hbr-backup/.
  • Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.

Prerequisites

  • Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
  • Prefer environment variables: ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optional ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID.
  • If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
