The lab has more than one server that uses ESXi to virtualize, and the other students in the lab have written a cloud platform management system based on ESXi.
- The physical server is managed to add, delete, modify, and monitor performance.
- Manage virtual machines for creation, deletion and power operation, performance monitoring.
- The virtual machine template can be managed to upload the created virtual machine template and basic information management.
The individual is responsible for completing the Webvservice research and development of ESXI, encapsulating the functions needed for use by others.
Difficulty: The use of webservice is not a common way of rest API, complex data structure, lack of documentation support, it is worth the basic web interface information of ESXi, and WebService call return information, will need to find and implement the function.
In the process of writing a program, it is found that WebService is implemented by simulating an object-oriented approach, obtaining an instance reference through WebService, and then you can continue to get the variable under this instance reference, or you can call the method of this instance. Gets the name of the input variable or method, and the unique number of the instance.
