Alibaba Cloud Compute

Resource Access Management (RAM)

RAM handles identity and access control across Alibaba Cloud environments, letting you define who can touch specific resources. It’s essentially the gatekeeper for your infrastructure, managing user permissions and roles to ensure only authorized entities interact with your compute assets.

This setup targets teams already committed to the Alibaba ecosystem who need granular control over their cloud resources. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, you start paying immediately for every identity and policy you create, which can add up quickly for smaller projects.
