Description
Drive Even More Value from Virtualization: Write VMware Applications that Automate Virtual Infrastructure Management Companies running VMware have already achieved enormous gains through virtualization. The next wave of benefits will come when they reduce the time and effort required to run and manage VMware. The VMware Software Development Kit (SDK) includes multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow administrators to do just that. Until now, however, these APIs have been poorly documented and understood. In VMware VI SDK, VMware senior technical staffer Steve Jin thoroughly demystifies the entire VMware VI SDK and offers detailed, task-based coverage of using its new APIs to manage VMware more efficiently and cost-effectively. Jin walks you through using the VMware VI SDK and the new vSphere 4.0 APIs to automate the management of ESX servers, ESX clusters, and VirtualCenter servers in any environment-no matter how complex. Drawing on his extensive experience working with VMware enterprise customers, he places the VMware VI SDK in practical context, presenting realistic samples and proven best practices for building robust, effective solutions. He demonstrates how to manage every facet of a VMware environment, including inventory, host systems, VMs, snapshots, clusters, resource pools, networking, storage, data stores, events, alarms, users, licenses, and scheduled tasks. Coverage includes Understanding how the VI SDK fits into your VMware environmentDiscovering the VI SDK from the bottom up, setting up the development environment, and running your first applicationsUsing the author's new Java-based Managed Object API to write shorter, more readable, more maintainable codeRetrieving properties and searching managed entities using PropertyCollector and SearchIndexDeveloping powerful applications that integrate multiple API features and run on top of or alongside VMware platformsUsing the VMware VI SDK to monitor performanceScripting with the VI SDK: building solutions with VI Perl, PowerShell, and Jython Avoiding the pitfalls that trip up VMware VI developers This book will be an indispensable resource for all VMware administrators who want to get more done in less time; for hardware vendors who want to integrate their products with VMware; for ISV developers building new VMware applications; and for every professional and student seeking a deeper mastery of virtualization.
