Welcome to the programmer's documentation for vCloud Air.
Built on the trusted foundation of vSphere, vCloud Air is a public cloud platform that includes services such as infrastructure as a service (IaaS), disaster recovery, and various applications as service offerings. The vCloud Air platform governs the various services and provides common features such as identity and access management, service discovery, and billing and metering.
Customers can manage their cloud resources by using the vCloud Air Web UIs, CLIs, and VMware APIs. (For information about CLI access, see the vCloud Air Developer Community.)
You can manage each vCloud Air service programmatically by utilizing the APIs for a platform for common management tasks (such as authentication and service discovery) and APIs unique for that service.
The following vCloud Air platforms include APIs for common management tasks:
