The Aliyun VFS is a thin wrapper over the S3 VFS. It maps an AliyunConfig to an S3Config and reuses the exact same backend, commands, and behavior as S3, it just derives the right OSS endpoint from region. Uses aioboto3 against Alibaba OSS’s S3-compatible API. The endpoint is computed from region as s3.oss-<region>.aliyuncs.com (e.g. s3.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com). Note the s3. prefix: this is the S3-compatible host, distinct from the native oss-<region>.aliyuncs.com. Pass endpoint_url to override. Install the extra:

Config

Both READ and WRITE modes are supported. Fields marked secret are redacted in snapshots. For write: conditional on this provider, see S3-compatible stores.

VFS.md

The VFS.md an agent reads with Alibaba OSS mounted at /<path>.

Virtual Filesystem

Supported Unix Commands for VFS

Unix commands work on each path as on a local filesystem, as far as the path supports them:

Limitations of Unix Commands for VFS

Where a path differs from a local filesystem:Run man <cmd> or <cmd> --help for one command’s usage.

Example

Notes

  • Aliyun registers under its own VFSName and routes through the same core/s3 implementation, so the full S3 shell-command set applies. See the S3 VFS for the complete command reference, range reads, streaming, and the index cache fast path.
