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
- hcloud CLI installed and authenticated — Reference: https://support.huaweicloud.com/qs-hcli/hcli_02_003.html
- Huawei Cloud AK/SK configured via hcloud (see Security & Credential Check below)
- ModelArts service enabled in the target region
- 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_KEYis FORBIDDEN) - 🚫 NEVER read or cat credential files such as
~/.hcloud/config.jsonor 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-keyon every API call — they will be exposed in process listings (ps aux) for the entire request duration - ✅ ALWAYS use
hcloud configure listto 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 setcommand 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 setcommand 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_KEYenvironment variables (those are for Python SDK only).hcloud configure setis the only supported credential configuration method.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify the Operation
Determine which notebook operation the user needs based on their request:
| User Intent | Operation Category |
|---|---|
| Create/list/view/update/delete/start/stop notebook | Instance Management |
| Query/renew lease | Lease Management |
| Create/delete/query tags | Tag Management |
| Save/register/list/delete/sync image | Image Management |
| Query flavors/clusters/features | Flavor & Cluster |
| Attach/detach/list storage | Dynamic Storage |
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:
| API | Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| CreateNotebook (EVS) | CLI rejects --volume.category=EVS |
Use --cli-jsonInput with {"body":{...}} wrapper + explicit --project_id |
| CreateNotebook | Param name flavor_id wrong |
Use --flavor |
| CreateNotebook | Param name volume.size wrong |
Use --volume.capacity |
| CreateNotebook | ownership=PRIVATE invalid |
Use MANAGED or DEDICATED |
| AttachDynamicStorage | STOPPED instance rejected | Ensure instance is RUNNING |
| AttachDynamicStorage | mount_path format |
Must start with /data/ and end with / |
| RegisterImage | arch case mismatch |
Use uppercase X86_64/AARCH64 |
| RenewLease | type case mismatch |
Use lowercase timing/idle |
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。

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()

Known Issues (Summary)
Full details: references/known-issues.md
| # | Issue | Key Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLI omits EVS from volume.category enum |
Use --cli-jsonInput with body wrapper + explicit --project_id |
| 2 | Storage category × ownership matrix | EVS:MANAGED ✅, OBS/OBSFS:DEDICATED ✅, OBS/OBSFS:MANAGED ❌ |
| 3 | DEDICATED ownership requires pool_id |
Query dedicated pools first, pass top-level pool_id |
| 4 | OBS as data_volume silently fails |
Use OBS as main volume or use OBSFS as data_volume |
| 5 | Bucket type (POSIX vs OBJECT) irrelevant | Both work with DEDICATED ownership |
| 6 | OBSFS:MANAGED extended storage unsupported | Use DEDICATED for OBSFS |
| 7 | OBS/OBSFS main volume needs dew_secret_name |
Store AK/SK in DEW/CSMS secret |
| 8 | OBS data volume requires mount_path |
Always specify valid path |
| 9 | Image/flavor architecture mismatch | Match arch field between image and flavor |
| 10 | --cli-jsonInput general workaround |
Must wrap in {"body":{...}} + pass --project_id explicitly |
| 11 | ShowLease duration is total, not remaining |
Calculate: remaining = (create_at + duration) - current_time |
| 12 | ListImageGroup response field varies with --limit |
Without limit: groups field; with limit: data field. Parse both |
| 13 | AttachDynamicStorage only supports POSIX buckets |
OBJECT buckets rejected with ModelArts.6772; use obsutil stat to verify |
Notes
- All 31 API interfaces are available via
hcloud ModelArtsCLI - SDK fallback available via
huaweicloudsdkmodelartsv1 if CLI encounters issues - Region is specified via
--cli-regionand should NOT be hardcoded --project_idis 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_inforesource_path— no inferred endpoints - No hardcoded AK/SK in any file — credentials managed by hcloud via
hcloud configure list/set
