[Backup] Strongly typed policy create/update commands #4504

Open tjprescott opened 7 years ago

tjprescott commented 7 years ago

Looking at the structure of the backup policy object, it seems like a strongly typed create/update command could be created for this scenario.

There are no collections of complex objects, which is typically the reason that JSON objects are used. As far as I can tell, there are only single (albeit polymorphic) objects and some simple collections that could easily be handled with nargs='+'.

A true create/update experience would be preferable to a JSON object set experience as policies could be configured in the script rather than JSON files needing to be saved as artifacts. It would also allow for simple updating of existing policies without have to download, modify, save and re-set it.

Need more information on how does the new command look like with this recommendation. @tjprescott : Can you please help us out here? You can email us or we can discuss this over a short skype call

Will design the new commands after the SDKs get finalized. This may take some time, Q4, CY, 2019 i,e., between Nov-Dec, 2019
