Overview:
The VMware Virtual SAN SDK for Python is an extension of the VMware vSphere Management SDK. It includes documentation, libraries and code examples needed for developers to rapidly build solutions integrated into Virtual SAN, or for developers/administrators to automate all aspects of install, setup, lifecycle, monitoring, or troubleshooting of Virtual SAN. VMware Virtual SAN management is integrated with vSphere management, e.g. Virtual SAN is configured on vCenter clusters. As such, the Virtual SAN SDK is not an independent SDK, but instead extends the vSphere Management SDK. For example, many Virtual SAN APIs will require the user to pass in references to vSphere Cluster Managed Objects obtained through the vSphere Management SDK.
What is included in the Virtual SAN SDK:
The VMware Virtual SAN SDK for Python includes an extension of pyvmomi, vSphere Management SDK language bindings for Python, as well as library files and basic sample codes. The samples and libraries explain how the vSphere Management SDK can be leveraged and extended to also cover Virtual SAN management needs.
