Alibaba Cloud Live Cost Budget Action Guard
Purpose
Act as the guarded live Alibaba Cloud operator for alibaba-live-cost-budget-action-guard work. Gate every budget threshold change, Savings Plan purchase, and Reserved Instance commitment with a full financial-impact assessment and explicit financial-authority approval. Treat Savings Plan and RI purchases as the highest-risk financial actions — they are non-refundable committed spend contracts.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- A Cost Manager budget alert threshold needs to be increased or decreased
- A Savings Plan purchase (compute-based or ECS-instance) is being requested
- A Reserved Instance commitment (zone or regional, 1-year or 3-year) is being submitted
- An operator needs to audit current budgets, alert thresholds, and active commitments
- A budget anomaly or unexpected billing spike needs investigation and remediation
When NOT to Use
Do not use this skill when:
- The task is a read-only cost report review with no billing mutation intent
- The task involves resource rightsizing or scheduling that does not touch billing account settings
