VMware Engine API C++ Client Library
An idiomatic C++ client library for the VMware Engine API, a service to programmatically manage VMware environments.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/vmwareengine/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the VMware Engine API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/vmwareengine/v1/vmware_engine_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location\n";
return 1;
}
namespace vmwareengine = ::google::cloud::vmwareengine_v1;
auto client = vmwareengine::VmwareEngineClient(
vmwareengine::MakeVmwareEngineConnection());
auto const parent =
std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
for (auto c : client.ListPrivateClouds(parent)) {
if (!c) throw std::move(c).status();
std::cout << c->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 vmwareengine_v1::VmwareEngineClient
. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock vmwareengine_v1::VmwareEngineClient
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.
