## 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](https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/vpc) | VpcV1

## Prerequisites

[ibm-cloud-onboarding]: https://cloud.ibm.com/registration

* An [IBM Cloud][ibm-cloud-onboarding] account.
* An IAM API key to allow the SDK to access your account. Create an apikey [here](https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/apikeys).
* Python version 3.8 or above.

## Installation

To install, use `pip` or `easy_install`:

```bash
pip install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.32.0"
```

or

```bash
easy_install --upgrade "ibm-vpc>=0.32.0"
```

## Using the SDK
For general SDK usage information, see the [IBM Cloud SDK Common README](https://github.com/IBM/ibm-cloud-sdk-common/blob/master/README.md).

## Setting up VPC service
```python
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'])

```
