/*
Order a block storage (endurance) As a Service

The script orders a block storage (endurance) device As a Service, with 80GB storage and 0.25 IOPS.
Since softlayer-go client doesn't have the new datatype containers used in control portal, to order
a SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Network_Storage_AsAService object we will make a REST request
by using the source code located in /utils/slapi/softlayer_service_request.go file.
