alibabacloud-vpc20160428
Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (20160428) SDK Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building on Alibaba Cloud and need to manage VPC resources from Python. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. It is the official SDK for this API, so it is the standard choice for VPC automation on Alibaba Cloud. Not relevant for non-Alibaba Cloud deployments.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.7 and valid Alibaba Cloud credentials to authenticate API calls.
- Low friction install with two lightweight dependencies (alibabacloud-tea-openapi, darabonba-core).
- Package is actively maintained with a recent release and supports Python 3.7 through 3.12.

What it is and what it does
This is an official Alibaba Cloud SDK that wraps the Virtual Private Cloud API (version 20160428) for Python developers. It allows you to programmatically create, configure, and manage VPC resources—such as virtual networks, subnets, and routing—on Alibaba Cloud's infrastructure from Python code. The SDK handles authentication, request serialization, and response parsing through its two core dependencies (alibabacloud-tea-openapi for the OpenAPI framework and darabonba-core for data marshaling).
The package is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.7–3.12), and carries no known security vulnerabilities. It is part of Alibaba Cloud's broader Python SDK ecosystem and is intended for developers building infrastructure automation, multi-cloud deployments, or applications that need to manage Alibaba Cloud networking resources programmatically.
Use it for
- Automate VPC provisioning and teardown in CI/CD pipelines for Alibaba Cloud deployments
- Build infrastructure-as-code tools that manage Alibaba Cloud networking alongside other cloud resources
- Integrate Alibaba Cloud VPC management into Python-based cloud orchestration or multi-cloud platforms
- Programmatically configure network isolation and routing policies for applications running on Alibaba Cloud
