Aliyun Dns Cli

Category: tool

Alibaba Cloud DNS (Alidns) CLI

Goals

• Query and manage Alibaba Cloud DNS records via aliyun-cli.
• Quickly configure CNAME for Function Compute custom domains.

When to Use

• When you need to add/update DNS records in Alibaba Cloud DNS.
• When you need CNAME setup for FC custom domains.

Install aliyun-cli (without sudo)

curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/aliyun-cli-linux-latest-amd64.tgz -o /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
 tar -xzf /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz -C /tmp
mv /tmp/aliyun ~/.local/bin/aliyun
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/aliyun

Configure Credentials

~/.local/bin/aliyun configure set \
  --profile default \
  --access-key-id <AK> \
  --access-key-secret <SK> \
  --region cn-hangzhou

Configure region as default; if best region is unclear, ask the user.

Query DNS Records

Query subdomain records:

~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns DescribeSubDomainRecords \
  --SubDomain news.example.com

Add CNAME Record

~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns AddDomainRecord \
  --DomainName example.com \
  --RR news \
  --Type CNAME \
  --Value <TARGET>

FC Custom Domain CNAME Target

Custom domain should point to FC public CNAME:

<account_id>.<region_id>.fc.aliyuncs.com

Example (Hangzhou):

1629965279769872.cn-hangzhou.fc.aliyuncs.com

Common Issues

• If apex CNAME is not supported, use subdomain like www or ALIAS/ANAME records.
• Create FC custom domain only after DNS propagation, otherwise DomainNameNotResolved may occur.

Validation

mkdir -p output/aliyun-dns-cli
echo "validation_placeholder" > output/aliyun-dns-cli/validate.txt

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

Output And Evidence

• Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/aliyun-dns-cli/.
• 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.

Workflow

1) Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating. 2) Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions. 3) Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope. 4) Verify results and save output/evidence files.
