Huawei Cloud Modelarts Notebook Management

Huawei Cloud ModelArts Notebook Management

Full lifecycle management for ModelArts Notebook instances via hcloud CLI — 31 API interfaces across 7 functional domains.

Overview

This skill enables users to manage Huawei Cloud ModelArts Notebook instances through the hcloud CLI. It covers the complete notebook lifecycle including instance CRUD, start/stop, lease renewal, tag management, image management, flavor/cluster queries, feature queries, and dynamic storage management.

Architecture

User Request → Agent → hcloud ModelArts <Operation> --cli-region={region} [--params] → Huawei Cloud ModelArts API

Applicable Scenarios

• Daily Operations: List notebooks, check status, view details, query flavors
• Instance Lifecycle: Create, start, stop, update, delete notebook instances
• Image Management: Save running instance as image, register/list/delete/sync custom images
• Storage Management: Dynamically attach/detach storage to notebook instances
• Lease Management: Query and renew notebook leases
• Tag Management: Create, delete, query notebook tags

Scope

本 skill 仅支持 ModelArts Notebook 实例管理（31 个 API），涵盖上述 7 个功能域。

Prerequisites

1. hcloud CLI installed and authenticated — Reference: https://support.huaweicloud.com/qs-hcli/hcli_02_003.html
2. Huawei Cloud AK/SK configured via hcloud (see Security & Credential Check below)
3. ModelArts service enabled in the target region
4. IAM permissions — See references/iam-policies.md

Security & Credential Check

⚠️ CRITICAL: This section defines the agent's security boundary. Follow it strictly.

🔒 Security Rules (MANDATORY)

• 🚫 NEVER read, echo, or print AK/SK values (e.g., cat ~/.hcloud/config.json, echo $HW_ACCESS_KEY is FORBIDDEN)
• 🚫 NEVER read or cat credential files such as ~/.hcloud/config.json or any file that may contain secrets
• 🚫 NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line
• 🚫 NEVER execute hcloud configure set --cli-access-key=... --cli-secret-key=... — credential configuration is the user's responsibility, done outside the agent session
• 🚫 NEVER pass --cli-access-key/--cli-secret-key on every API call — they will be exposed in process listings (ps aux) for the entire request duration
• ✅ ALWAYS use hcloud configure list to check credential status (presence check only, not values)
• ✅ If no valid profile exists, STOP and instruct the user to configure credentials outside this session
• ✅ Recommend using IAM user with minimal permissions instead of main account

✅ Agent Credential Check (the ONLY acceptable check)

# Step 1: Check credential status — presence only, not values
hcloud configure list

• ✅ Expected: Shows a valid profile with mode: AKSK

• ❌ If empty/invalid → Guide the user with the 3-step process below:

  Step-by-step guidance (copy-paste for the user):

  "No valid credentials found. Please follow these 3 steps in your terminal:"

  ① Get your AK/SK Log in to Huawei Cloud Console → IAM → Access Keys. If you don't have one, click "Create Access Key" and save it securely.

  ② Run this in your terminal (one-time setup):

  hcloud configure set --cli-access-key=<YOUR_AK> --cli-secret-key=<YOUR_SK>
  

  (Replace <YOUR_AK> and <YOUR_SK> with the values from step ①)

  ③ Come back and tell me "configured", I'll verify it works.

  Note: The configure set command stores your credentials in ~/.hcloud/config.json. After that, all hcloud commands use them automatically — no need to pass AK/SK again.

  Agent: DO NOT execute any configure set command yourself.

🔧 User's Responsibility (for documentation, NOT agent execution)

The user configures credentials outside the agent session (in their own terminal):

# One-time setup — run this in your terminal, NOT in the agent chat
HISTCONTROL=ignorespace
 hcloud configure set --cli-access-key=<YOUR_AK> --cli-secret-key=<YOUR_SK>

⚠️ Note: hcloud CLI does NOT read HW_ACCESS_KEY/HW_SECRET_KEY environment variables (those are for Python SDK only). hcloud configure set is the only supported credential configuration method.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Operation

Determine which notebook operation the user needs based on their request:

Step 2: Execute CLI Command

hcloud ModelArts <Operation> --cli-region={region} [--key=value ...]

{region} must be replaced with the actual region, e.g., cn-north-4. Do NOT hardcode the region.

Step 2.5: Consult Known Issues (Write Operations Only)

Before executing any write operation, read references/known-issues.md and check for known pitfalls, parameter corrections, and required workarounds for the target API.

Common workarounds to apply:

This step is mandatory for all write operations. Skipping it may result in CLI parameter errors or API failures that are already documented.

Step 3: Handle Write Operations

For all write operations (Create/Update/Delete/Start/Stop/Attach/Detach/Register/Sync/Renew), prompt the user for confirmation before execution. For chargeable operations (CreateNotebook, StartNotebook), inquire BSS pricing first to inform the user of costs. See references/pricing-inquiry.md for the pricing inquiry workflow.

删除类操作交互指引：当用户请求删除标签（DeleteNotebookTags）、删除镜像分组（DeleteImageGroup）等操作但未指定具体对象时，必须先查询当前对象列表（如 ShowNotebookTags / ListImageGroup），向用户展示并确认要删除哪个对象，确认后再执行。避免因上下文不明确导致误删。

KooCLI Command Format Standard

hcloud ModelArts <Operation> --cli-region={region} [--key=value ...]

Note: --project_id is auto-resolved from authentication credentials if omitted. Include it explicitly only when targeting a specific project.

Core Commands

All 31 CLI command examples across 7 functional domains are documented in a separate reference file.

📖 For detailed command syntax, parameters, and examples, read references/cli-command-examples.md

Quick Index

When executing any command, always refer to the reference file for exact parameter names, required/optional flags, and usage patterns.

Parameter Confirmation

SDK Fallback

If a CLI operation fails due to a CLI bug, fall back to SDK:

from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
from huaweicloudsdkmodelarts.v1.modelarts_client import ModelArtsClient
from huaweicloudsdkmodelarts.v1.region.modelarts_region import ModelArtsRegion

credentials = BasicCredentials(ak="{AK}", sk="{SK}", project_id="{project_id}")
client = ModelArtsClient.new_builder() \
    .with_credentials(credentials) \
    .with_region(ModelArtsRegion.value_of("{region}")) \
    .build()

Notes

• All 31 API interfaces are available via hcloud ModelArts CLI
• SDK fallback available via huaweicloudsdkmodelarts v1 if CLI encounters issues
• Region is specified via --cli-region and should NOT be hardcoded
• --project_id is auto-resolved from credentials if omitted (but must be explicit when using --cli-jsonInput)
• All write operations (Create/Update/Delete/Start/Stop/Attach/Detach/Register/Sync/Renew) require user confirmation before execution
• Chargeable operations (CreateNotebook, StartNotebook) require BSS pricing inquiry to inform users of costs before execution
• API paths verified from SDK source _http_info resource_path — no inferred endpoints
• No hardcoded AK/SK in any file — credentials managed by hcloud via hcloud configure list/set
