Python API for interaction with the vSphere Web Services SDK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Among other operations, it provides easy interfaces to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Connect to VMWare's ESX, ESXi, Virtual Center, Virtual Server hosts
|
||
|
|
- Query hosts, datacenters, resource pools, virtual machines
|
||
|
|
- VM: Power on, power off, reset, revert to snapshot, get properties,
|
||
|
|
update vmware tools, clone, migrate.
|
||
|
|
- vSphere 5.0 Guest Operations: create/delete/move files and directories.
|
||
|
|
Upload/download files from the guest system. List/start/stop processes
|
||
|
|
in the guest system.
|
||
|
|
- Create and delete snapshots
|
||
|
|
- Hosts statistics and performance monitoring
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And of course, you can use it to access all the vSphere API through python.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's built upon a slightly modified version of ZSI (that comes bundled-in)
|
||
|
|
which makes it really fast in contrast to other python SOAP libraries that
|
||
|
|
don't provide code generation.
