Table: alicloud_ecs_zone - Query Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service Zones using SQL

Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) provides fast memory and flexible compute power. An ECS Zone is a physical area with independent power grids and networks inside an Alibaba Cloud region. Zones are designed to ensure that failures are isolated within Zones and are physically separated within a typical metropolitan region.

Table Usage Guide

The alicloud_ecs_zone table provides insights into the zones within Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS). As a system administrator, explore zone-specific details through this table, including zone availability, network type, and resource specifications. Utilize it to uncover information about zones, such as their capacities and capabilities, the network types they support, and the resources available within them.

Examples

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- alicloud

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_alicloud --config '<your_config>' alicloud_ecs_zone
