An idiomatic C++ client library for Assured Workloads API, a service to accelerate your path to running more secure and compliant workloads on Google Cloud.
While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/assuredworkloads/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Assured Workloads API C++ client library API.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.

Library\n========================================\n\nAn idiomatic C++ client library for [Assured Workloads API](https://cloud.google.com/assured-workloads/), a service to accelerate your path to running more secure and compliant workloads on Google Cloud.\n\nWhile this library is **GA** , please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do **not** follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).\n\n### Quickstart\n\nThe following shows the code that you'll run in the `google/cloud/assuredworkloads/quickstart/` directory, which should give you a taste of the Assured Workloads API C++ client library API. \n\n #include \"google/cloud/assuredworkloads/v1/assured_workloads_client.h\"\n #include \u003ciostream\u003e\n\n int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {\n if (argc != 3) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"Usage: \" \u003c\u003c argv[0] \u003c\u003c \" organization-id location-id\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n namespace assuredworkloads = ::google::cloud::assuredworkloads_v1;\n auto client = assuredworkloads::AssuredWorkloadsServiceClient(\n assuredworkloads::MakeAssuredWorkloadsServiceConnection());\n auto const parent =\n std::string(\"organizations/\") + argv[1] + \"/locations/\" + argv[2];\n\n for (auto w : client.ListWorkloads(parent)) {\n if (!w) throw std::move(w).status();\n std::cout \u003c\u003c w-\u003eDebugString() \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n }\n\n return 0;\n } catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"google::cloud::Status thrown: \" \u003c\u003c status \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n### Main classes\n\nThe main class in this library is [`assuredworkloads_v1::AssuredWorkloadsServiceClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/assuredworkloads/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1assuredworkloads__v1_1_1AssuredWorkloadsServiceClient). All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock [`assuredworkloads_v1::AssuredWorkloadsServiceClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/assuredworkloads/2.11.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1assuredworkloads__v1_1_1AssuredWorkloadsServiceClient) when testing your application.\n\n### Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.\n\nThe library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses [exponential backoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff) to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.\n\n### More Information\n\n- [Error Handling](https://cloud.google.com/cpp/docs/reference/common/latest/common-error-handling.html) - describes how the library reports errors.\n- [How to Override the Default Endpoint](/cpp/docs/reference/assuredworkloads/2.11.0/assuredworkloads-override-endpoint) - describes how to override the default endpoint.\n- [How to Override the Authentication Credentials](/cpp/docs/reference/assuredworkloads/2.11.0/assuredworkloads-override-authentication) - describes how to change the authentication credentials used by the library.\n- [Environment Variables](/cpp/docs/reference/assuredworkloads/2.11.0/assuredworkloads-env) - describes environment variables that can configure the behavior of the library."]]
