There's no order number when provision VM by SL API - ibm-cloud

There's order number when I provision VM by APIs for SL account 1473995. This is one VM provisioned by API: https://control.softlayer.com/devices/details/50115597/virtualGuest
Since I can provision VM in control portal and got an order number.
Is there any different between API call with portal? Since the API can can't get order number now (It worked fine at Feb 3th).
Can anyone help to have a look at the account parameter, if it needs manually steps for api call provision VMs?
This is part of my code:
service := services.GetVirtualGuestService(sess)
// Create a Virtual_Guest instance as a template
vGuestTemplate := datatypes.Virtual_Guest{
Hostname: sl.String(spec.HostName),
Domain: sl.String(spec.Domain),
MaxMemory: sl.Int(spec.Memory),
StartCpus: sl.Int(spec.CPUs),
Datacenter: &datatypes.Location{Name: sl.String(spec.DataCenter)}, // Dal 12
OperatingSystemReferenceCode: sl.String(spec.OperatiingSystem), // UBUNTU_LATEST
LocalDiskFlag: sl.Bool(true),
HourlyBillingFlag: sl.Bool(true),
PrivateNetworkOnlyFlag: sl.Bool(true),
SshKeys: sshkeys,
PrimaryBackendNetworkComponent: &datatypes.Virtual_Guest_Network_Component{NetworkVlan: &datatypes.Network_Vlan{Id: sl.Int(spec.VlanID)}, // VlanID is 2177691
},
}
vGuest, err := service.Mask("id;domain").CreateObject(&vGuestTemplate)

The createObject method never returns the orderId, the differnce with the portal is that the portal uses the placeOrder method which is more complex than the createObject method:
here you can see some explanation about the use of the placeOrder method:
https://sldn.softlayer.com/blog/bpotter/going-further-softlayer-api-python-client-part-3
Now it is possible to get the orderId from the VM using object mask here an RESTFul example for that:
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/$VMID/getObject?objectMask=mask[id,billingItem[id,orderItem[id,order]]]
Just replace $VMID with the id that the create object method returned or also you can use globalId which is also returned by the createObject method, notice that the VM order needs to be approved if it is not apporved yet the request will not work.
As you are using the GO client you just need to translate the request above.

Is there yet an idiomatic way to make native calls to AWS Lambda or API Gateway from a Flutter application?

Goal: Make a signed request (SigV4) to AWS Lambda or API Gateway from a Flutter application (iOS, for the sake of this question).
For context, AWS introduced support for "native calls to AWS backends in [...] Flutter or Dart applications" back in May of 2022. There is an example of how to sign a request to Cognito to gather information about a User Pool, but I have not seen any application of this concept for Lambda or API Gateway calls, yet.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had success using AWS's official Dart packages to send signed requests or knows of another way to securely call AWS from a Flutter application.
EDIT:
I was able to accomplish the goal. Here's how I did it:
The code (all-caps denotes placeholders for your own values):
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:aws_common/aws_common.dart';
import 'package:aws_signature_v4/aws_signature_v4.dart';
const signer = AWSSigV4Signer(
credentialsProvider: AWSCredentialsProvider.dartEnvironment(),
);
const region = 'REGION';
Future<void> yourFunction() async {
final scope = AWSCredentialScope(
region: region,
service: AWSService.apiGatewayV2,
dateTime: AWSDateTime(DateTime.now()),
);
final request = AWSHttpRequest(
method: AWSHttpMethod.post,
uri: Uri.https('HOST.execute-api.REGION.amazonaws.com','/STAGE_NAME'),
headers: const {
AWSHeaders.contentType: 'application/x-amz-json-1.1',
},
body: json.encode({
'EVENT_KEY':'EVENT_VALUE',
}).codeUnits,
);
final signedRequest = await signer.sign(
request,
credentialScope: scope,
);
final resp = await signedRequest.send();
final respBody = await resp.decodeBody();
print('\n\n${signedRequest.headers}\n\n${respBody}\n\n${resp.statusCode}\n\n');
}
Within a single AWS region (except where n/a):
create IAM user with execute-api:Invoke permission and programmatic access; store keys securely for later use.
create a Lambda function (can be the default, for testing).
create API in API Gateway:
REST (not private)
Regional endpoint
Add method (for me, POST)
IAM authorization type
Integration type is Lambda
select the target Lambda function, but
do not use Lambda proxy
deploy the newly created API to a new stage (give it a name)
Edit your dart file to include the new resources, including the stage name.
Test your API within API Gateway (I was getting 502 until I unchecked "Lambda proxy integration").
Run the following in your terminal after a successful API test; be sure to insert the keys for the IAM user you created.
flutter run --dart-define=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --dart-define=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
Summary:
In my case, I have a button that executes this function. If you keep the print statement in the above dart code, you should hopefully see {"statusCode": 200, "body": "\"Hello from Lambda!\""} as the response body.
Hope this helps others. Cannot make any guarantees that my approach will work in another environment. I also may have forgotten to include something relevant in the steps above. Still open to questions and suggestions.
Thank you.

CDK BasePathMapping for existing custom domain is created but doesn't work

This is all done using CDK.
I created a REST API and custom domain associated with it via a base path mapping (domain.addBasePathMapping()). That worked fine.
Due to some requirement, I also need to redirect a particular path from another custom domain (I'll call this the old domain) to this api. In theory this should be straightforward - just create a base path mapping from the old domain to the new API.
This is how I tried doing it:
const domain = DomainName.fromDomainNameAttributes(this, 'oldDomain', {
domainName: 'the old custom domain name',
domainNameAliasTarget: 'the "API Gateway domain name" value from the console for that domain',
domainNameAliasHostedZoneId: 'the "Hosted zone ID" value from the console for that domain',
});
new BasePathMapping(this, 'myMapping', {
domainName: domain,
restApi: this.api,
basePath: 'foo',
});
First I created a DomainName object by looking up the old domain, then created a mapping to my new API with some path. Note that I cannot call addBasePathMapping() on the domain name created, as that method returns an IDomainName which doesn't have that method.
When I ran this, it created the base path mapping in the old custom domain, pointing to my new api, correct stage, specified path. Great!
Except it didn't work. Invoking [old domain]/foo/bar (where bar is the resource path in the new API) returned 404.
The strange thing is that when I create that mapping manually via the console, it works perfectly.
Another weird thing is that if I create it via CDK, and then edit it in the console, it starts working. If I then delete it (manually or via CDK) and then create it again via CDK, it continues to work. But of course this isn't a proper solution.
I can only assume that creating it manually performs some extra operation not done via the CDK construct, but as the docs don't say what else may need to be done, I have no idea what.
The solution is to use the CfnApiMapping construct from aws-cdk-lib/aws-apigatewayv2. In fact this is a lot easier as you don't need to get the hosted zone id etc, just pass it some readily available information and it creates a base path mapping that actually works:
new CfnApiMapping(this, 'myMapping', {
apiId: this.api.restApiId,
domainName: 'old custom domain'
stage: this.api.deploymentStage.stageName,
apiMappingKey: 'foo',
});
I should warn that this comes with strange behaviour.
First an overview of my setup:
The old api has the following path on it: [old api]/foo/bar. The old custom domain is mapped straight to the old api with no path, so the old endpoint url is [old custom domain]/foo/bar. The new endpoint is [new custom domain]/bar. In order for the old URL to map to the new api, I need a base path mapping for foo on the old custom domain to point to the new api, so that [old custom domain]/foo/bar will be directed to [new api]/bar. (Note there are no other resources on foo and nothing new will be added, so this is fine.)
So currently calling [old custom domain]/foo/bar invokes the /foo/bar path on the old api. Once I deploy the CfnApiMapping resource, calling that same URL invokes the correct path on the new api.
Weird behaviour 1: If I delete that base path mapping, I would expect it to go back to the original api. Instead I get a 403 error. If I create it again, it resolves to the new API again, and deleting it again gives the 403 error again.
Weird behaviour 2: If instead of deleting it, I change the path value so it no longer maps "foo", the /foo/bar path works with the old endpoint again. I can then delete the mapping and everything keeps working fine.
Weird behaviour 3: I am unable to recreate this as I can't remember which sequence of steps I took, but it happened a couple of times where I deleted the base path mapping and it continued to work as if the mapping was still there. There was no mapping visible in the console, and I gave it plenty of time for the change to take effect, but it continued to work.
All this is done with the CDK, not manually. Doing this manually or via regular cloudformation works with no issues.

How do you use the serviceNameFilter when calling QueryClient.GetServiceListAsync

I'm using Azure Service Fabric with stateless services. I have a list of services deployed under an application, and there's a naming convention used with those service names. I'd like to get a list of services that match a filter expression.
Here is a link to a screenshot of my service fabric explorer. I don't have the reputation points to post an image.
Service Fabric Explorer screenshot
In this example, the name of my application is SFApp1, and the name of my service is HelloWorldStateless. I'd like to query the service fabric cluster to locate all services with the name "HelloWorldSt*" (under the SFApp1 application of course).
I know I can query to find all services with the application name "fabric:/SFApp1", and it'll return all services under that application. This overload of GetServiceListAsync takes just an application URI.
FabricClient client = new FabricClient();
ServiceList serviceList = client.QueryManager.GetServiceListAsync(new Uri("fabric:/SFApp1")).Result;
I also know I can query to find a specific service. This overload takes an application URI AND a service URI and will return a single-item list.
FabricClient client = new FabricClient();
ServiceList serviceList = client.QueryManager.GetServiceListAsync(new Uri("fabric:/SFApp1"), new Uri("fabric:/SFApp1/HelloWorldStateless")).Result;
What I'm trying to find out is if there's any way to do something like a wildcard search.
FabricClient client = new FabricClient();
ServiceList serviceList = client.QueryManager.GetServiceListAsync(new Uri("fabric:/SFApp1"), new Uri("fabric:/SFApp1/HelloWorldSt*")).Result;
The name of the parameter where the service name is specified is serviceNameFilter, and the method returns a list. I'm wondering why they would return a list for this overload if the result was always going to be a single-item list. Also, the parameter name "serviceNameFilter" suggests (to me at least) that there's the ability to supply some kind of expression to narrow down your list.
Here's what I've tried already. I've tried the code above, where I chop off a few characters and put an asterisk. I've tried without the asterisk to see if it was a substring match. I've tried SQL-style, with a percent symbol. I've tried a question mark. All of those attempts returned an empty list.
My current workaround is just to ask for all services under that application, and I'll filter them on the client code end with a linq expression. That'll work, but I worry about performance if my list of services gets really big.
Would be nice if I could inspect the source code to answer this myself.
Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do, or am I just misinterpreting what "serviceNameFilter" means, and it just means you have to put the entire service URI that you're looking for?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Unfortunately that API parameter is terribly named. It's not really a filter at all, it's just the name of the service (since there's no other query that just returns one service, this is how you "filter" from all the services in an application down to just one in particular).
The nearest thing to what you're looking for is EnumerateSubnames. It's not a wildcard search, but you can get all the names that exist "underneath" a given name (for example, all of the service names that exist within an application, or all names with some specific prefix). Depending on the structure of how you create your service names this could work for you.
// System.Fabric.FabricClient.PropertyManagementClient
public Task<NameEnumerationResult> EnumerateSubNamesAsync(Uri name, NameEnumerationResult previousResult, bool recursive)
For example: Presume the following names exist in the cluster:
fabric:/SomeApplication/Zone1/Service1
fabric:/SomeApplication/Zone1/Service2
fabric:/SomeApplication/Zone2/Service1
Note that in this case the application would have been created with the name "fabric:/SomeApplication" and then the services with the detailed names above incorporating the "Zone" segment.
If you now EnumerateSubnames("fabric:/SomeApplication/Zone1", null, true) you'd get back a result that gave you the full names that matched (1 & 2 above).

what API Gateway methods support Authorization?

When I create a resource/method in AWS API Gateway API I can create one of the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH or POST.
If I choose GET then API Gateway doesn't pass authentication details; but for POST it does.
For GET should I be adding the cognito credentials to the URL of my GET? or just never use GET and use POST for all authenticated calls?
My set-up in API Gateway/Lambda:
I created a Resource and two methods: GET and POST
Under Authorization Settings I set Authorization to AWS_AIM
For this example there is no Request Model
Under Method Execution I set Integration type to Lambda Function and I check Invoke with caller credentials (I also set Lambda Region and Lambda Function)
I leave Credentials cache unchecked.
For Body Mapping Templates, I set Content-Type to `application/json' and the Mapping Template to
{ "identity" : "$input.params('identity')"}
In my Python Lambda function:
def lambda_handler(event, context):
print context.identity
print context.identity.cognito_identity_id
return True
Running the Python function:
For the GET context.identity is None
For the POST context.identity has a value and context.identity.cognito_identity_id has the correct value.
As mentioned in comments: all HTTP methods support authentication. If the method is configured to require authentication, authentication results should be included in the context for you to access via mapping templates to pass down stream as contextual information.
If this is not working for you, please update your question to reflect:
How your API methods are configured.
What your mapping template is.
What results you see in testing.
UPDATE
The code in your lambda function is checking the context of the Lambda function, not the value from API Gateway. To access the value passed in from API Gateway, you would need to use event.identity not context.identity.
This would only half solve your problem as you are not using the correct value to access the identity in API gateway. That would be $context.identity.cognitoIdentityId (assuming you are using Amazon Cognito auth). Please see the mapping template reference for a full guide of supported variables.
Finally, you may want to consider using the template referenced in this question.

Can I use paging when getting service identities from ACS

Background
I require a list of all the service identity names I have registered in the Azure ACS. I have an Azure Management Service reference I got from https://myaccesscontrol.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/mgmt/service. The “myaccesscontrol” prefix is arbitrary, for this discussion. You could use a different subscription namespace prefix and get the same results, if I understand correctly. This is the service endpoint that Azure gives me when I subscribe. It exposes a ManagementService interface. When I get a list of service identities
DataServiceQuery<ServiceIdentity> identities = managementService.ServiceIdentities;
I get back an object that has a count of all the identities I expect. When I expand the list I get the first 50. This is typical of a paged response, and I expect that there is a continuation token that will allow me to get the next “page”.
Problem
I can’t see how the ManagementServiceReference.ManagementService interface can be used to obtain a continuation token.
Discussion
How to: Load Paged Results (WCF Data Services) at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee358711.aspx provides an example where a QueryOperationResponse response from LINQ context can be queried for continuation with
token = response.GetContinuation()
The QueryOperationResponse is retrieved from a LINQ context Execute().
In some Azure sample code I have, there are examples of paging for blobs, tables, and queues, where data is collected in a ResultSegment. A ResultSegment has a Boolean HasMoreResults member, a ResultContinuationToken ContinuationToken member, and methods that accept and maintain these to support paging operations.
I don’t see how to obtain a Continuation from a DataServiceQuery. I don’t see that the ManagementServiceReference.ManagementService exposed by Azure supports a paged list of service identities, even though the service is, apparently, paging the results it sends me. Can you point me to the right article that will show me how the DataServiceQuery can be treated in a way that I get a Continuation back?
Using the management service sample project that's available here, what you want would look something like this:
ManagementService mgmtSvc = ManagementServiceHelper.CreateManagementServiceClient();
List<ServiceIdentity> serviceIdentities = new List<ServiceIdentity>();
// Get the first page
var queryResponse = mgmtSvc.ServiceIdentities.Execute();
serviceIdentities.AddRange( queryResponse.ToList() );
// Get the rest
while ( null != ( (QueryOperationResponse)queryResponse ).GetContinuation() )
{
DataServiceQueryContinuation<ServiceIdentity> continuation =
( (QueryOperationResponse<ServiceIdentity>)queryResponse ).GetContinuation();
queryResponse = mgmtSvc.Execute( continuation );
serviceIdentities.AddRange( queryResponse.ToList() );
}
