General Procedure<\/h2>\n
The following steps outline how to retrieve the ECS Image ID. In this example, we use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Almalinux 8 installed on a Windows 11 PC.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Installing and Deploying the CLI<\/li>\n
- Verifying Operation<\/li>\n
- Creating a RAM User<\/li>\n
- Configuring the Profile<\/li>\n
- Retrieving the Image ID<\/li>\n
- Extracting Output Results<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u2460 Installing and Deploying the CLI<\/h3>\n
First, use Almalinux 8 on WSL and install the CLI with the following command:<\/p>\n
curl -sL https:\/\/github.com\/aliyun\/aliyun-cli\/releases\/download\/v3.0.188\/aliyun-cli-linux-3.0.188-amd64.tgz | sudo tar xzC \/usr\/local\/bin<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n* For detailed information, please refer to the GitHub release page or the official Alibaba Cloud documentation:<\/p>\n
\u3007 GitHub
\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/aliyun\/aliyun-cli<\/a>
\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/aliyun\/aliyun-cli\/releases<\/a><\/p>\n\u3007 Alibaba Cloud Official Documentation
\nhttps:\/\/www.alibabacloud.com\/help\/en\/cli\/installation-guide<\/a><\/p>\n\u2461 Verifying Operation<\/h3>\n
After installation, verify the version with the following command to ensure it is installed correctly:<\/p>\n
aliyun version<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\nIf version 3.0.188<\/span> is displayed, the installation is successful.<\/p>\n
\u2462 Creating a RAM User<\/h3>\n
To use the CLI, you need to create a RAM user with Administrator privileges.<\/p>\n
During creation, the following information will be output; make sure to note it down:<\/p>\n
- \n
- AccessKey ID<\/li>\n
- AccessKey Secret<\/li>\n
- Default Region ID<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This information will be used in the profile configuration.<\/p>\n
\u2463 Configuring the Profile<\/h3>\n
Set up the profile with the following command:<\/p>\n
aliyun configure --profile default<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\nAfter execution, input the following information in order:<\/p>\n
- \n
- AccessKey ID<\/li>\n
- AccessKey Secret<\/li>\n
- Default Region ID\uff08e.g., ap-northeast-1\uff09<\/li>\n
- Default Language\uff08e.g., en\uff09<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Once Configure Done!!!<\/span> is displayed, the setup is complete.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\u2464 Retrieving the Image ID<\/h3>\n
If you’re unsure of the command to execute, check the help<\/span> to see available options:<\/p>\n
aliyun --help<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\nThis will display a list of available options and resources for the aliyun<\/span> command.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/beyond-shenzhen.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/aliyun-cli-image_img2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nTo specify the “ECS” resource and investigate help<\/span> for a specific service:<\/p>\n
aliyun ecs --help<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/beyond-shenzhen.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/aliyun-cli-image_img3.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThis will display a list of available APIs.<\/p>\n
Among them, DescribeImages<\/span> seems appropriate for retrieving image information. Use it to obtain results in JSON format:<\/p>\n
aliyun ecs DescribeImages<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\nThe output will be displayed in JSON format, allowing you to check the necessary information.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/beyond-shenzhen.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/aliyun-cli-image_img4.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBy the way, even the help<\/span> for the aliyun ecs DescribeImages<\/span> command can be checked as follows.<\/p>\n
When you actually want to execute something against ECS using the CLI, you should also refer to other parameters like the following.<\/p>\n
aliyun ecs DescribeImages help<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/beyond-shenzhen.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/aliyun-cli-image_img5.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n\u2465 Extracting Output Results<\/h3>\n
To make the output more readable, use the output<\/span> option to extract specific fields:<\/p>\n
By using this option and specifying the following three Fields<\/span>, you can extract only the parts you are looking for.<\/p>\n
