Attention Administrators: vSphere Java API is for You too!

May 10th, 2010 No comments

Most people have the perception that vSphere Java API is for developers. It’s true but actually more than that. Administrators can take advantage of it as well.

Today, William Lam (@lamw) posted a Java version of his vdf tool which was originally written in Perl. For people don’t know William yet, he is a system administrator at Salesforce.com now and Yahoo before. He created and maintains the famous vGehtto script repository that almost every VI Perl developer knows about. William is also a vExpert and the No.1 contributor to the VMware developer community. Having not touched Java for 4+ years, William got his first HelloVM with VI Java API working in less than 5 minutes, and got the code converted in about one hour.
