Stay updated about modifications on SoftLayer API, read our page to know more information about these updates.

This week we just have pratically one modification on the API

SoftLayer_Network_Storage

Added the method getManualSnapshots where you can get the manually created snapshots associated with this network storage volume, a good observation is that this method does not support pagination by result limit and offset.

as SoftLayer_Network_Storage_Backup_Evault and SoftLayer_Network_Storage_Iscsi inherits the network storage object, both received the method too.

on the relation properties, now we have manualSnapshotsCount, to get the total

SoftLayer_Product_Package_Server

Added the properties datacenters for the these server package, so on this property we can access a comma-separated list of datacenters names this server is available in, check this example:

servers = Softlayer::Product::Package::Server.get_all_objects
servers.size
# => 55
servers.first.datacenters
# => "ams01,ams03,che01,dal01,dal05,dal06,dal07,dal09,fra02,hkg02,hou02,lon02,mel01,mex01,mil01,mon01,par01,sjc01,sjc03,sao01,sea01,sng01,syd01,tok02,tor01,wdc01,wdc04"

if you would like to list all servers available on sao01

sao01_servers = servers.select { |x| x.datacenters =~ /sao01/ }
sao01_servers.size
# => 34

What you think? Will datacenters be useful to you, solve any current problem?

See you next week!
