New suggestion for /shells/2020.1.0/getting-information-from-cloudshell.html

In this section:

Custom Attributes and the Shell’s data model

from data_model import *

class DataModelExampleDriver (ResourceDriverInterface):

    def custom_command(self, context):
      resource = DataModelExample.create_from_context(context)
      resource.vendor = 'specify the shell vendor'
      resource.model = 'specify the shell model'

The code example seems to indicate we can assign resource.vendor (the Vendor attribute on our shell) via a straight assignment instead of using the api to SetAttributeValue.

Hi Cody,

The resource context is there to allow you to access and use the shell's data model. While the API allows you to operate on the resource level, it is nevertheless a very powerful tool that can also work on the sandbox and administrative levels. As such, it's mainly used for environment-level orchestrations.

Hope this helps :)
