Recommender C++ Client Library
An idiomatic C++ client library for Recommender, a service on Google Cloud that provides usage recommendations and insights for Cloud products and services.
While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/recommender/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Recommender C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/recommender/v1/recommender_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace recommender = ::google::cloud::recommender_v1;
auto client =
recommender::RecommenderClient(recommender::MakeRecommenderConnection());
// For additional recommenders see:
// https://cloud.google.com/recommender/docs/recommenders#recommenders
auto const parent =
std::string("projects/") + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2] +
"/recommenders/google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender";
for (auto r : client.ListRecommendations(parent)) {
if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();
std::cout << r->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
The main class in this library is recommender_v1::RecommenderClient
. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock recommender_v1::RecommenderClient
when testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
