An idiomatic C++ client library for theOrganization Policy API, a service to The Org Policy API allows users to configure governance rules on their GCP resources across the Cloud Resource Hierarchy.
While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/orgpolicy/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Organization Policy API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/orgpolicy/v2/org_policy_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace orgpolicy = ::google::cloud::orgpolicy_v2;
auto client =
orgpolicy::OrgPolicyClient(orgpolicy::MakeOrgPolicyConnection());
auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);
for (auto p : client.ListPolicies(project.FullName())) {
if (!p) throw std::move(p).status();
std::cout << p->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 isorgpolicy_v2::OrgPolicyClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockorgpolicy_v2::OrgPolicyClientwhen testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and usesexponential backoffto backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
