Before You Start

Welcome to CodeArts. CodeArts is a one-stop platform that provides out-of-the-box cloud services for requirement delivery, code commit, check, build, verification, deployment, and release throughout the entire software lifecycle.

This document describes how to use APIs to manage VPCEP information for CodeArts access control. For details, see API Overview.

Before calling an API, you must be familiar with CodeArts concepts. For details, see Service Overview.

Endpoints

An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions.

The following table lists CodeArts endpoints. Select a desired one based on the service requirements.

Concepts

Account
The account has full access permissions for all of its cloud services and resources via Huawei Cloud registration. It can be used to reset user passwords and grant user permissions. The account is a payment entity and should not be used directly to perform routine management. For security purposes, create IAM users and grant them permissions for routine management.
User
An Identity and Access Management (IAM) user is created using an account to use cloud services. Each IAM user has its own identity credentials (password and access keys).

An IAM user can view the account ID and user ID on the My Credentials page of the console. The account name, username, and password will be required for API authentication.
Region
Regions are divided based on geographical location and network latency. Public services, such as Elastic Cloud Server (ECS), Elastic Volume Service (EVS), Object Storage Service (OBS), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic IP (EIP), and Image Management Service (IMS), are shared within the same region. Regions are classified into universal regions and dedicated regions.
- A universal region provides universal cloud services for common tenants.
- A dedicated region provides particular services for specific tenants.
For details, see Region and AZ.
AZ
An availability zone (AZ) contains one or more physical data centers. Each AZ has independent cooling, fire extinguishing, moisture-proof, and electricity facilities. Within an AZ, computing, network, storage, and other resources are logically divided into multiple clusters. AZs within a region are interconnected using high-speed optical fibers to support cross-AZ high-availability (HA) systems.
