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 3.10 or above.

Installation

To install, use pip or easy_install:

pip install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.35.0"

easy_install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.35.0"

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("YOUR_IBMCLOUD_API_KEY")
service = VpcV1(authenticator=authenticator)

# to change the service URL to the United Kingdom region
service.set_service_url(VpcV1.get_service_url_for_region("eu-gb"))

#  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'])
