Synchronizing Resources

Scenarios

If resource data is not refreshed in time, you can manually synchronize resource data to ensure real-time and reliable data.

NOTE:

A resource is an entity that you can use on the cloud platform. A resource can be an Elastic Cloud Server (ECS), an Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disk, or a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

To synchronize resources, you must have the rms:resources:list permission. This permission is used to call RMS APIs to obtain resources in all regions to which the current user belongs.

Precautions

The duration of the resource synchronization tasks depends on the total amount of resource data being synchronized. The maximum synchronization time is approximately 5 minutes.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Resources > Application and Resource Management.
