Overview

Welcome to Elastic Cloud Server API Reference. An Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) is a computing server that consists of CPUs, memory, image, and EVS disks allowing on-demand allocation and elastic scaling. ECS integrates the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), virtual firewall, and multi-data-copy capabilities to construct an efficient, reliable, and secure computing environment. This ensures stable and uninterrupted operation of services. After creating an ECS, you can use it like using your local computer or physical server.

This document describes ECS application programming interfaces (APIs), including description, syntax, parameters, and examples. For details about all supported operations, see API Overview.

If you plan to access ECSs through an API, ensure that you are familiar with ECS concepts. For details, see Service Overview.
