Overview

The IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Python SDK allows developers to programmatically interact with the following IBM Cloud services:

Service Name	Imported Class Name
VPC	VpcV1

Prerequisites

• An IBM Cloud account.
• An IAM API key to allow the SDK to access your account. Create an apikey here.
• Python version 3.5.3 or above.

Installation

To install, use pip or easy_install:

pip install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.11.1"

or

easy_install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.11.1"

Using the SDK

For general SDK usage information, see the IBM Cloud SDK Common README.

Setting up VPC service

from ibm_vpc import VpcV1
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core import ApiException

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator('apikey')
service = VpcV1(authenticator=authenticator)

#  Listing VPCs
print("List VPCs")
try:
    vpcs = service.list_vpcs().get_result()['vpcs']
except ApiException as e:
  print("List VPC failed with status code " + str(e.code) + ": " + e.message)
for vpc in vpcs:
    print(vpc['id'], "\t",  vpc['name'])

#  Listing Subnets
print("List Subnets")
try:
    subnets = service.list_subnets().get_result()['subnets']
except ApiException as e:
  print("List subnets failed with status code " + str(e.code) + ": " + e.message)
for subnet in subnets:
    print(subnet['id'], "\t",  subnet['name'])

#  Listing Instances
print("List Instances")
try:
    instances = service.list_instances().get_result()['instances']
except ApiException as e:
  print("List instances failed with status code " + str(e.code) + ": " + e.message)
for instance in instances:
    print(instance['id'], "\t",  instance['name'])

instanceId = instances[0]['id']
instanceName = instances[0]['name']

#  Updating Instance
print("Updated Instance")
try:
    newInstanceName = instanceName + "-1"
    instance = service.update_instance(
        id=instanceId,
        name=newInstanceName,
    ).get_result()
except ApiException as e:
    print("Update instance failed with status code " + str(e.code) + ": " + e.message)
print(instance['id'], "\t",  instance['name'])
