   Would be great to have also the following constants and predefined values:

   const (
   	SecurityGroupRuleDirectionIngress = "ingress"
   	SecurityGroupRuleDirectionEgress  = "egress"
   
   	SecurityGroupRuleEtherTypeIPv4 = "IPv4"
   	SecurityGroupRuleEtherTypeIPv6 = "IPv6"
   )
   
   var (
   	SecurityGroupRuleProtocolTCP = iaas.Protocol{
   		Name:   ptr.To("tcp"),
   		Number: nil,
   	}
   	SecurityGroupRuleProtocolUDP = iaas.Protocol{
   		Name:   ptr.To("udp"),
   		Number: nil,
   	}
   )

   Hey @robinschneider i'm going through older issues of our repositories and stumbled upon this one. Please excuse that we have not responded to this issue until now.

   In any case, as you might know, the SDK provides constants for enum values. See here for an example: albwaf crg type. API's that are not specifically declared as enums from the service API will not have any constants by default. This may be intended by the service team or an oversight, we would have to take a look at each endpoint to judge that. Sometimes endpoints are deliberately not declared as enums for compatibility reasons with planned features, other times it's just an oversight.

   Since this issue is fairly old and has been stale for a year, i'm going to close it for now. Should this still be a pain point for you, please feel free to repoen the issue with another example service where you feel like constants are missing. We can then look at the API and see if we can introduce constants or an enum type for that.

   Best regards,
   Jonas from the STACKIT Developer Tools team
