Overview

The IBM Cloud DrAutomation services Go SDK allows developers to programmatically interact with the following IBM Cloud services:

Service Name - Plan	Package name
DrAutomation Service	drautomationservicev1
PowerHA Service	powerhaautomationservicev1

Prerequisites

An IBM Cloud account.
An IAM API key to allow the SDK to access your account. Create one here.
Go version 1.25 or above.

Installation

The current version of this SDK: 0.1.0

Go modules

If your application uses Go modules for dependency management (recommended), just add an import for each service that you will use in your application.

Example – DrAutomation Service-Plan

import (
	"github.com/IBM/dra-go-sdk/drautomationservicev1"
)

Example – PowerHA Service-Plan

import (
	"github.com/IBM/dra-go-sdk/powerhaautomationservicev1"
)

Next, run go build or go mod tidy to download and install the new dependencies and update your application's go.mod file.

In the example above, the drautomationservicev1 part of the import path is the package name associated with the Example Service service. See the service table above to find the approprate package name for the services used by your application.

`go get` command

Alternatively, you can use the go get command to download and install the appropriate packages needed by your application:

Example – DrAutomation Service-Plan

go get -u github.com/IBM/dra-go-sdk/drautomationservicev1

Example – PowerHA Service-Plan

go get -u github.com/IBM/dra-go-sdk/powerhaautomationservicev1

Be sure to use the appropriate package name from the service table above for the services used by your application.

Using the SDK

Environment Configuration

The SDK can be configured using environment variables. Here's an example configuration:

DrAutomation Service Configuration

# Authentication type
export DR_AUTOMATION_SERVICE_AUTH_TYPE=bearerToken

# Bearer token for authentication
export DR_AUTOMATION_SERVICE_BEARER_TOKEN=<bearerToken>

PowerHA Service Configuration

# Authentication type
export POWERHA_AUTOMATION_SERVICE_AUTH_TYPE=bearerToken

# Bearer token for authentication
export POWERHA_AUTOMATION_SERVICE_BEARER_TOKEN=<bearerToken>

Note: The bearer token shown above is an example. For production use:

Use the actual service endpoint URL
Generate your own valid IAM bearer token
