The Management Console is a unified platform for viewing and managing Alibaba Cloud products and services. You can use the graphical interface or the Cloud Shell command line interface to perform configuration operations.

Benefits

  • Centralized management: You can manage all your cloud products and services from a single location in the Management Console.

  • Multiple management platforms: You can perform operations through simple interactions in the web console or run scripts for daily operations and maintenance (O&M) using the Cloud Shell command line interface.

  • Manage on the go: The Alibaba Cloud app supports O&M for dozens of cloud products. You can view monitoring data and perform various O&M operations from your mobile device. This ensures that your business runs smoothly even when you are away from your computer.

  • Secure management platform: You can use Resource Access Management (RAM) to grant your employees access permissions to the Management Console. You can also control the permissions for each employee and ensure that they access the console only from company-approved environments. When you perform high-risk operations, such as deleting or restarting resources, a risk governance flow is triggered. This ensures the security of all logons and operations.
