Google OS Config API Client for Java
Java idiomatic client for OS Config API.
🚌 In October 2022, this library has moved to
google-cloud-java/java-os-config.
This repository will be archived in the future.
Future releases will appear in the new repository (https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java/releases).
The Maven artifact coordinates (com.google.cloud:google-cloud-os-config) remain the same.
Quickstart
If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>google-cloud-os-config</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>If you are using Gradle without BOM, add this to your dependencies:
implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-os-config:2.7.0'If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies:
libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-os-config" % "2.7.0"Authentication
See the Authentication section in the base directory's README.
Authorization
The client application making API calls must be granted authorization scopes required for the desired OS Config API APIs, and the authenticated principal must have the IAM role(s) required to access GCP resources using the OS Config API API calls.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
You will need a Google Cloud Platform Console project with the OS Config API API enabled.
Follow these instructions to get your project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by
installing the Google Cloud SDK and running the following commands in command line:
gcloud auth login and gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID].
Installation and setup
You'll need to obtain the google-cloud-os-config library. See the Quickstart section
to add google-cloud-os-config as a dependency in your code.
About OS Config API
OS Config API provides OS management tools that can be used for patch management, patch compliance, and configuration management on VM instances.
See the OS Config API client library docs to learn how to use this OS Config API Client Library.
Troubleshooting
To get help, follow the instructions in the shared Troubleshooting document.
Transport
OS Config API uses gRPC for the transport layer.
Supported Java Versions
Java 8 or above is required for using this client.
Google's Java client libraries, Google Cloud Client Libraries and Google Cloud API Libraries, follow the Oracle Java SE support roadmap (see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
For new development
In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given library is changed, it is accompanied by a semver major release.
Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new development.
Keeping production systems current
Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial General Availability).
Legacy support
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library that supports their JVM.
Where to find specific information
The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
the individual GitHub repository github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME
and on google-cloud-java.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
