Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud OS Config API module Google::Cloud::OsConfig.
Methods
.configure
defself.configure()->::Google::Cloud::Config
Configure the google-cloud-os_config library.
The following configuration parameters are supported:
credentials (type:String, Hash, Google::Auth::Credentials) -
The path to the keyfile as a String, the contents of the keyfile as a
Hash, or a Google::Auth::Credentials object.
lib_name (type:String) -
The library name as recorded in instrumentation and logging.
lib_version (type:String) -
The library version as recorded in instrumentation and logging.
interceptors (type:Array<GRPC::ClientInterceptor>) -
An array of interceptors that are run before calls are executed.
timeout (type:Numeric) -
Default timeout in seconds.
metadata (type:Hash{Symbol=>String}) -
Additional headers to be sent with the call.
retry_policy (type:Hash) -
The retry policy. The value is a hash with the following keys:
:initial_delay (type:Numeric) - The initial delay in seconds.
:max_delay (type:Numeric) - The max delay in seconds.
:multiplier (type:Numeric) - The incremental backoff multiplier.
:retry_codes (type:Array<String>) -
The error codes that should trigger a retry.
Yields
(::Google::Cloud.configure.os_config)
Returns
(::Google::Cloud::Config) — The default configuration used by this library
By default, this returns an instance of
Google::Cloud::OsConfig::V1::OsConfigService::Client
for a gRPC client for version V1 of the API.
However, you can specify a different API version by passing it in the
version parameter. If the OsConfigService service is
supported by that API version, and the corresponding gem is available, the
appropriate versioned client will be returned.
You can also specify a different transport by passing :rest or :grpc in
the transport parameter.
Raises an exception if the currently installed versioned client gem for the
given API version does not support the given transport of the OsConfigService service.
You can determine whether the method will succeed by calling
OsConfig.os_config_service_available?.
About OsConfigService
OS Config API
The OS Config service is a server-side component that you can use to
manage package installations and patch jobs for virtual machine instances.
Parameters
version (::String, ::Symbol) (defaults to: :v1) — The API version to connect to. Optional.
Defaults to :v1.
transport (:grpc, :rest) (defaults to: :grpc) — The transport to use. Defaults to :grpc.
Returns
(::Object) — A client object for the specified version.
Determines whether the OsConfigService service is supported by the current client.
If true, you can retrieve a client object by calling OsConfig.os_config_service.
If false, that method will raise an exception. This could happen if the given
API version does not exist or does not support the OsConfigService service,
or if the versioned client gem needs an update to support the OsConfigService service.
Parameters
version (::String, ::Symbol) (defaults to: :v1) — The API version to connect to. Optional.
Defaults to :v1.
transport (:grpc, :rest) (defaults to: :grpc) — The transport to use. Defaults to :grpc.
Create a new client object for OsConfigZonalService.
By default, this returns an instance of
Google::Cloud::OsConfig::V1::OsConfigZonalService::Client
for a gRPC client for version V1 of the API.
However, you can specify a different API version by passing it in the
version parameter. If the OsConfigZonalService service is
supported by that API version, and the corresponding gem is available, the
appropriate versioned client will be returned.
You can also specify a different transport by passing :rest or :grpc in
the transport parameter.
Raises an exception if the currently installed versioned client gem for the
given API version does not support the given transport of the OsConfigZonalService service.
You can determine whether the method will succeed by calling
OsConfig.os_config_zonal_service_available?.
About OsConfigZonalService
Zonal OS Config API
The OS Config service is the server-side component that allows users to
manage package installations and patch jobs for Compute Engine VM instances.
Parameters
version (::String, ::Symbol) (defaults to: :v1) — The API version to connect to. Optional.
Defaults to :v1.
transport (:grpc, :rest) (defaults to: :grpc) — The transport to use. Defaults to :grpc.
Returns
(::Object) — A client object for the specified version.
Determines whether the OsConfigZonalService service is supported by the current client.
If true, you can retrieve a client object by calling OsConfig.os_config_zonal_service.
If false, that method will raise an exception. This could happen if the given
API version does not exist or does not support the OsConfigZonalService service,
or if the versioned client gem needs an update to support the OsConfigZonalService service.
Parameters
version (::String, ::Symbol) (defaults to: :v1) — The API version to connect to. Optional.
Defaults to :v1.
transport (:grpc, :rest) (defaults to: :grpc) — The transport to use. Defaults to :grpc.
