# Huawei Cloud CCE Cluster Management

## Overview

Manage CCE (Cloud Container Engine) cluster lifecycle, including cluster creation/deletion/hibernation/awakening, node pool management, node scheduling control, and addon management.

## ⛔ Security Constraints

### Dangerous Operation Confirmation Mechanism

> **This skill strictly enforces a two-step confirmation mechanism for all dangerous operations to prevent accidental service disruption or data loss.**

All dangerous operations require `confirm=true` parameter to execute. Otherwise, they return a preview and confirmation prompt.

#### Operations Requiring Confirmation

| Tool | Operation Type | Risk Level | Description |
|------|---------------|------------|-------------|
| `huawei_delete_cce_cluster` | Delete | 🔴 Critical | Deletes entire CCE cluster, irreversible |
| `huawei_hibernate_cce_cluster` | Hibernate | 🟠 High | Stops all workloads, pauses control plane billing |
| `huawei_awake_cce_cluster` | Awake | 🟠 High | Resumes cluster from hibernation |
| `huawei_resize_cce_nodepool` | Scale | 🟡 Medium | Adjusts node pool size, affects capacity |
| `huawei_delete_cce_nodepool` | Delete | 🟠 High | Deletes node pool, affects business capacity |
| `huawei_delete_cce_node` | Delete | 🟠 High | Removes node from cluster, affects scheduling |
| `huawei_uninstall_cce_addon` | Uninstall | 🟠 High | Removes addon, may affect cluster functionality |
| `huawei_cce_node_cordon` | Cordon | 🟡 Medium | Marks node unschedulable, new pods won't be assigned |
| `huawei_cce_node_uncordon` | Uncordon | 🟡 Medium | Marks node schedulable, new pods may be assigned immediately |
| `huawei_cce_node_drain` | Drain | 🟠 High | Evicts all pods from node, affects running workloads |

#### Workflow

**Step 1: Preview Operation** - Call without `confirm` parameter

```bash
# Example: Preview cluster deletion
python3 huawei-cloud.py huawei_delete_cce_cluster \
  region=cn-north-4 \
  cluster_id=xxx
```

Returns: operation preview, risk warning, confirmation example

**Step 2: Confirm Execution** - Call with `confirm=true`

```bash
# Example: Confirm and execute deletion
python3 huawei-cloud.py huawei_delete_cce_cluster \
  region=cn-north-4 \
  cluster_id=xxx \
  confirm=true
```

### Credential Security

✅ **This skill strictly follows these security rules:**

1. **No persistent credential storage** - Never saves AK/SK, tokens, or certificates to disk
2. **No long-term memory cache** - AK/SK exists only during API call, released afterward
3. **Only project ID memory cache** - Non-sensitive project ID cached in process memory
4. **No credential leakage** - Never includes AK/SK in logs, responses, or errors
5. **Temporary file cleanup** - If temporary cert files are created, they are deleted immediately after use

AK/SK usage methods:

- Environment variables `HW_ACCESS_KEY` / `HW_SECRET_KEY` / `HW_REGION_NAME` (process-level, not saved)
- Per-call parameter (valid only for that call)

---

## Prerequisites

### Python Environment

- Python 3.8+
- Install SDKs: `pip install huaweicloudsdkcce huaweicloudsdkcore`

### Environment Variables (Recommended)

```bash
export HW_ACCESS_KEY="your-access-key-id"
export HW_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-access-key"
export HW_REGION_NAME="cn-north-4"
```

### IAM Permission Policies

| `cce:cluster:list` | List clusters |
| `cce:cluster:get` | Get cluster details |
| `cce:cluster:create` | Create clusters |
| `cce:cluster:delete` | Delete clusters |

| `cce:node:create` | Create nodes |
| `cce:node:delete` | Delete nodes |
| `cce:node:update` | Update nodes (cordon/uncordon/drain) |
| `cce:nodepool:list` | List node pools |
| `cce:nodepool:create` | Create node pools |
| `cce:nodepool:delete` | Delete node pools |

## Core Commands

### Cluster Query

| Tool | Function | Parameters |
|------|----------|------------|
| `huawei_list_cce_clusters` | List all CCE clusters in region | `region` |
| `huawei_get_cce_nodes` | Get detailed node information | `region`, `cluster_id`, `node_id` |
| `huawei_get_cce_kubeconfig` | Get cluster kubeconfig | `region`, `cluster_id`, `duration` |

### Cluster Management

| Tool | Function | Risk Level | Requires Confirmation |
|------|----------|------------|----------------------|
| `huawei_create_cce_cluster` | Create CCE cluster | 🟢 Low | No |

| `huawei_bind_cce_cluster_eip` | Bind cluster EIP | 🟢 Low | No |
| `huawei_unbind_cce_cluster_eip` | Unbind cluster EIP | 🟡 Medium | No |

**Recommended defaults:**

- Cluster type: `Turbo` (best performance with ENI network)
- Container network: `eni` for Turbo clusters
- Naming format: `<env>-<app>-cluster` (e.g., `prod-web-cluster`)

### Node Pool Management

| Tool | Function | Risk Level | Requires Confirmation |
|------|----------|------------|----------------------|
| `huawei_list_cce_nodepools` | List node pools | 🟢 Low | No |
| `huawei_create_cce_nodepool` | Create node pool | 🟢 Low | No |
| `huawei_delete_cce_nodepool` | Delete node pool | 🟠 High | **Yes** |
| `huawei_resize_cce_nodepool` | Resize node pool | 🟡 Medium | **Yes** |

**Recommended defaults:**

- Naming format: `<env>-<role>-pool` (e.g., `prod-worker-pool`)
- Initial node count: 2 for HA, or 0 with autoscaling
- Enable autoscaling for dynamic scaling

### Node Management

| Tool | Function | Risk Level | Requires Confirmation |
|------|----------|------------|----------------------|
| `huawei_list_cce_nodes` | List cluster nodes | 🟢 Low | No |

## Output Format

All tools return JSON-formatted results containing:

- `status`: operation result (`success` / `error`)
- `data`: operation-specific response (cluster info, node list, addon details, etc.)
- `message`: human-readable description of the result
- `warning`: risk warning for dangerous operations (preview mode only)

## Verification

See [verification-method.md](references/verification-method.md) for detailed verification steps. Quick checklist:

1. Verify AK/SK credentials are configured via environment variables
2. Run `huawei_list_cce_clusters` to confirm API connectivity
3. Test dangerous operation preview (call without `confirm=true`)
4. Verify Turbo cluster ENI network configuration

## Best Practices

- Use environment variables (`HW_ACCESS_KEY` / `HW_SECRET_KEY`) for credentials — avoid hardcoding
- Always preview dangerous operations before confirming with `confirm=true`
- Use Turbo clusters (`container_network_type=eni`) for high-performance workloads
- Resize node pools during low-traffic periods to minimize business impact
- Keep node pools at ≥2 nodes for production workloads to ensure redundancy
- Regularly check cluster health via `huawei_list_cce_clusters` and `huawei_show_cce_cluster`

## Notes

- Ensure AK/SK has correct IAM permissions
- Different regions may have different resource availability
- All dangerous operations require confirmation
- Deletion operations are irreversible
- Hibernate cluster stops all workloads - use during non-business hours
- Node drain evicts all pods - ensure sufficient replicas
- Turbo clusters recommended for best performance with ENI network
