ECS API: More user friendly API design

[denverdino]

1. Current API design is just mapping of the REST API. It will be better to provide the resource based API. E.g. instance resource, disk resource we can associate the disk resource to instance
2. The WaitForXXX method can be simplified.
   E.g.
   func (client *Client) WaitForInstance(instanceId string, status InstanceStatus, timeout int) error
   Should be changed to something like
   func (client *Client) WaitForInstance(instanceId string, timeout int) (status InstanceStatus, err error)

The status will be the stable status E.g. Running, Stopped, etc. We need the enumeration of them.

Thanks

I'd also ask to use interfaces instead of structs, because its impossible to extend them in the underlaying libraries (ie in terraform provider where its used). Often it lacks some of the supported attributes and forking / copying source to extend is not a maintainable option =(

Either way thanks for the library ;)

@AVVS Thanks for your comments. We will consider that.

And the official SDK for Aliyun services is published. They are generated from Alibaba Cloud API. Please visit https://github.com/aliyun/alibaba-cloud-sdk-go and any comments are welcome.

afaik https://github.com/alibaba/terraform-provider doesn't use the official SDK, so if that changes, it certainly would solve the problem ;) but so far its kind of impossible not to use this library

Right, that is the timing issue. And you can open issue for the terraform provider. I will let my colleague to follow it up. Thanks again
