RESTful API
|
The NephoScale RESTful API is used for programmatically manipulating cloud infrastructure over HTTP, and is the most granular level of control over the NephOS cloud platform.
|
The NephoScale REST API's most typical use is for provisioning and managing servers and storage. Users who want to create their own job management client can use the API to call into NephOS platform, and the API can be used to automate provisioning and manipulation of infrastructure directly from user applications.
The NephoScale Admin CLI provides an additional convenient way to access the NephoScale API.
