The refactoring work continues, as well as the introduction of some new things!
Thanks to some wonderful contributions this past January, we are very plesed to report that VMWare Cloud Flex Compute! Of course the service isn't actually Generally Available (GA) yet, but once it's released, pyVMC will support it!
Now, in addition to supporting authentication via an API refresh token, users may now configure authentication via an OAuth Application ID and Secret. Read more about how to authenticate applications with OAuth 2.0 here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-services/services/Using-VMware-Cloud-Services/GUID-53D39337-D93A-4B84-BD18-DDF43C21479A.html.
With this release, simply add the parameters for your OAuth Application and Secret to your config.ini file and you can authenticate using the "--oauth" flag!
In this latest release, all commands have been refactored to use a command / sub-command syntax. This provides for greater ease of use, as commands can be grouped by category. Furthermore, a comprehensive argument framework has been implemented (argparse) which allows for passing parameters via the command line for better support for scripting.
For example, in previous versions BGP prefix filters for your route-based VPN could only be created interactively at the command line. Now, however, prefix lists can be imported as JSON files to make it a lot easier to update your T0 route table via script for specific use cases - e.g. disaster recovery.
