Introduction to vCloud API

Vassil Popovski, VMware

We envision the vCloud API to become a key technology for managing, provisioning and automation in the cloud infrastructure. The API is a major part of the VMware’s vCloud offering and there will be a significant interest from both Service providers, Enterprises and ISV to implement custom solutions on top of the API or to consume/manage cloud services from the vCloud ecosystem. In this presentation we will describe the design and the architecture of the vCloud API, will present the key concepts and idioms of the API, and will deep dive into the vCloud API. In addition few major usage scenarios of the vCloud API will be explored.
