Use the soap API programming provided by VMware vcenter Lab Manager

Introduction to VMware vcenter Lab Manager

The official introduction refers to the product and application that provides on-demand access and automated management for Private clouds for development or testing.ProgramOwners, developers, QA, and training teams can deploy, capture, and share multi-layer application environments in just a few seconds, while the IT department still maintains management control capabilities. In this process, labmanager (which is also briefly described later) has the advantage of saving time and simplifying the management of rapidly changing environments, and allows the project team to bring well-tested products to the market faster.

The above is an official Product Overview, slightly changed, but with these obscure and strong terminology, it is estimated that many people still do not quite understand what a software product is. From the perspective of the author, this is the web version of VMware Workstation. It caters to the popular concept of cloud computing and deploys system configurations on Server clusters to facilitate unified resource allocation and management. Through this product, we can quickly build virtual machines, dynamically update system configuration items, and implement policy-based access control to reduce interference between various project teams.

Programming with open soap APIs

As a Web-based product, labmanger also opens some web service interfaces for developers and QA to help complete some automated tests. However, for the moment, its open interfaces have fewer functions and can only support some basic management of Virtual Machine Power Supply (BOOT, shutdown, restart) and snapshot (snapshot) management, system configuration (deploy, undeploy), and configuration information acquisition, but not for file transmission, remote process execution, and other functions, it may be based on Web security considerations.CodeThe executed function is blocked or not implemented.
