Publishing a Private Path service from the CLI

The following example shows how to use the CLI to publish a Private Path service.

Before you begin, make sure to set up your CLI environment.

You must first export the feature flag to use the CLI for Private Path beta release offerings.

To export the feature flag, enter the following commands:

export IBMCLOUD_IS_FEATURE_PRIVATE_PATH_SERVICE_GATEWAY=true
export IBMCLOUD_IS_FEATURE_PP_NLB_SUPPORT=true

To publish a Private Path service from the CLI, follow these steps:

1. Enter the following command:

ibmcloud is private-path-service-gateway-update PRIVATE_PATH_SERVICE_GATEWAY
    [--output JSON]
    [-f, --force]
    [-q, --quiet]

Where:

PRIVATE_PATH_SERVICE_GATEWAY

Indicates ID or name of the Private Path service.

2. Store the following values in variables to be used in the API command:

   • ppsgId - Get your Private Path service and then populate the variable:

     export ppsgId=<your_ppsg_id>
     

3. When all variables are initiated, do one of the following:

   • To publish your Private Path service:

     curl -X POST -sH "Authorization:${iam_token}" \
     "$vpc_api_endpoint/v1/private_path_service_gateways/$ppsgId/publish?version=$api_version&generation=2" \
     -d {}'

Publishing a Private Path service with Terraform

Terraform will support this feature after it reaches General Availability (GA) and is officially released.

The following example publishes a Private Path network by using Terraform:

resource "ibm_is_private_path_service_gateway_operations" "publish" {
  published = true
  private_path_service_gateway = ibm_is_private_path_service_gateway.ppsg.id
}

Unpublishing a Private Path service with Terraform

Terraform will support this feature after it reaches General Availability (GA) and is officially released.

The following example unpublishes a Private Path network by using Terraform:

resource "ibm_is_private_path_service_gateway_operations" "publish" {
  published = false
  private_path_service_gateway = ibm_is_private_path_service_gateway.ppsg.id
}
