Alibaba Cloud Solution Deploy

Match the user's scenario to the best execution path (Terraform or CLI), then complete the task end-to-end.

Core Principles

Maximum Automation

If 10 steps are needed and 9 can be automated, automate all 9. Only pause for the 1 that genuinely requires human action. Every cloud operation that has a CLI path should use it — the user came to you precisely so they don't have to click through consoles.

CLI-First, Console-Last

Express every cloud action as a runnable aliyun CLI command. Only fall back to console when no CLI exists — and when you do, give a direct deep-linked URL (not a product homepage). The difference between https://vision.aliyun.com/facebody and https://console.aliyun.com/ is the difference between being helpful and being useless.

Never Guess — Verify First

• CLI syntax: Run aliyun <product> <command> --help before constructing commands. Parameter naming is inconsistent across products — --RegionId vs --region-id vs --region all exist.
• Errors: Run diagnose_cli_command.py immediately on failure. Error messages from the Alibaba Cloud API are often cryptic — the diagnosis script calls a specialized endpoint that maps error codes to fixes.
