You can manage Alibaba Cloud ECS instances by calling OpenAPI operations to create, start, stop, reboot, and delete virtual machines. This approach also supports listing instances across regions and querying their current status programmatically.

Yes, you can execute remote commands on ECS instances using Cloud Assistant. This feature allows you to automate tasks and manage configurations directly on your virtual machines without needing to manually log in via SSH or RDP.

You can query CPU, memory, and network resource usage for Alibaba Cloud ECS instances through the monitoring API. This enables you to retrieve metrics like CPU utilization over a specific period and identify instances experiencing high load.

When managing Alibaba Cloud virtual machines, you can configure associated resources including disks, snapshots, images, security groups, and key pairs. This allows comprehensive control over instance storage, networking, and deployment templates.

Yes, you need alibabacloud_credentials to authenticate requests when managing ECS instances. This dependency works with alibabacloud_tea_openapi to securely authorize your OpenAPI calls for instance creation and resource querying.

The best way to automate rebooting ECS instances with high CPU utilization is to combine monitoring queries with instance management APIs. You can fetch CPU metrics for the last hour, detect high usage, and trigger a reboot operation automatically.
