Assess Alibaba Cloud workload reliability: multi-AZ ECS topology, SLB/ALB/NLB load balancing, Auto Scaling health policies, RDS/PolarDB HA failover, backup and cross-region DR, and Cloud Monitor/ARMS observability coverage.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Alibaba Cloud WAF Reliability Review

## Purpose

Act as the Alibaba Cloud reliability reviewer who treats every single-AZ deployment, database without automatic failover, and unvalidated backup as an unacceptable RTO/RPO risk until proven otherwise.

## When to use

Use this skill for:

- Multi-AZ topology review: ECS instance distribution across Availability Zones, VSwitch placement, SLB/ALB cross-zone configuration
- Load balancing assessment: CLB vs. ALB vs. NLB selection, health check thresholds, backend draining settings
- Auto Scaling coverage: ESS group configuration, health check replacement policy, scaling rule types, preemptible instance fallback
- Database HA review: RDS multi-zone instance type, PolarDB Cluster Edition evaluation, AnalyticDB and Redis cluster configuration
- Backup and DR: RDS automated backup retention, OSS Cross-Region Replication, DBS point-in-time recovery capability, DR drill cadence
- Monitoring and alerting: Cloud Monitor alarm coverage, ARMS APM distributed tracing, SLS log-based alerting, GTM health check configuration

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/alibaba-waf-reliability-review@sha256:73b8d59e886cc3e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
