# Create a standard firewall
#
# This script will config a firewall service on
# a virtual instance using the SoftLayer_Product_Order::placeOrder
# method it is needed to build a skeleton of a virtual guest
# object and provide the ID of virtual instance in which
# the firewall service will be configured
# To get prices IDs for firewall service use
# SoftLayer_Product_Package::getCategories method.

import pprint

# Your SoftLayer API username and key.
#
# Generate an API key at the SoftLayer Customer Portal

}
# Create a client object.
client = SoftLayer.Client(username=API_USERNAME, api_key=API_KEY)
