Cloud Operation Forms

The following forms come from schema/help output. They require your own region, credentials, resource IDs, and product-specific values before execution:

Task	Command form
List ECS instances	ecctl ecs instance list --region cn-hangzhou
Inspect one ECS instance	ecctl ecs instance get <instance-id> --region cn-hangzhou
List VPCs	ecctl vpc list --region cn-hangzhou
Create a vSwitch	ecctl vpc vswitch create --vpc <vpc-id> --zone <zone-id> --cidr <cidr> --region cn-hangzhou
List ACK clusters	ecctl ack list --region cn-hangzhou
List Lingjun clusters	ecctl lingjun cluster list --region cn-wulanchabu

Inspect the matching schema before running a mutating command.
