# huaweicloudsdkevs — EVS

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 217.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is the Huawei Cloud Python SDK for Elastic Volume Service (EVS), a service-specific library that wraps Huawei Cloud's block storage APIs. It depends on huaweicloudsdkcore and provides typed request/response objects and client builders to manage cloud volumes without writing raw HTTP calls. You authenticate with Huawei Cloud credentials (Access Key and Secret Key), configure a region and HTTP settings, then instantiate an EVS client to perform operations like listing, creating, or modifying volumes.

The package is part of Huawei's modular SDK family—you install only the service packages you need. It supports Python 3.6 through 3.12, is marked Production/Stable, and has been actively maintained since its 2020 release. No known vulnerabilities are recorded. The library handles credential management, region selection, SSL configuration, proxy setup, and request/response logging through a fluent builder pattern.

Use it for:

- Automate provisioning and deletion of block storage volumes in Huawei Cloud infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Build multi-region storage management tools that query and modify EVS resources across Huawei Cloud regions.
- Integrate Huawei Cloud storage operations into Python applications without embedding raw API calls or HTTP logic.
- Monitor and manage volume snapshots, attachments, and metadata programmatically from Python services.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Python SDK for Huawei Cloud Elastic Volume Service (EVS), enabling programmatic management of block storage volumes without direct API handling.

Yes, if you are working with Huawei Cloud EVS. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive license, and installs with minimal friction. It is production-stable and supports modern Python versions. Install it only if you have a Huawei Cloud account and need to manage EVS resources from Python.

## Install

pip install huaweicloudsdkevs
uv add huaweicloudsdkevs
poetry add huaweicloudsdkevs

## Installing huaweicloudsdkevs

Before you install: Low friction install with a single dependency (huaweicloudsdkcore). Package is actively maintained with a release 1 day old and has been in production since 2020-05-18.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install huaweicloudsdkevs

import os
from huaweicloudsdkcore.auth.credentials import BasicCredentials
from huaweicloudsdkevs.v2 import EvsClient

credentials = BasicCredentials(
    os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK"),
    os.getenv("HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK")
)
client = EvsClient.new_builder().with_credentials(credentials).build()

Requires Huawei Cloud account with Access Key (AK) and Secret Key (SK); set HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_AK and HUAWEICLOUD_SDK_SK environment variables before use.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the SDK supports all EVS operations or a subset of the Huawei Cloud EVS API
- Performance characteristics or rate limits when managing large volumes of storage resources
- Regional availability and whether all Huawei Cloud regions are supported
