Cloud Management API

Why use APIs?

Integrate existing IT
infrastructures and resources
with cloud workflows

Connecting different cloud
services together

Create a custom self service
portal for cloud workflows

Cloud Management API Industry Standards

Reducing friction among clouds

Oracle Cloud Standards Team is participating in and driving adoption of Oracle Cloud
API in emerging industry cloud standards

As these standards are released, adopted by ISO and receive market adoption Oracle
will implement for EM and other products

Three Cloud API standards

Cloud Storage: Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) from the Storage Networking
Industry Association (SNIA); recently adopted by ISO

IaaS: Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface (CIMI) from the Distributed Management
Task Force (DMTF); Release 1.0 issued, release 1.1 in development.

PaaS: Cloud Application Management for Platforms (CAMP) from the Organization for the
Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS); release 1.0 in development.

Cloud Management API

Examples of when to use APIs

Deploying databases and Oracle VM assemblies from custom-built

self-service consoles

Integration into a bigger orchestration flow, such as a provisioning
preceded with approval workflows

Deploying databases and Oracle VM assemblies from service desks

As a part of public clouds for integration with the tenant management
systems

Cloud Management API

REST APIs

EM 12c exposes REST APIs for operations that can be performed by a cloud
self service user

The RESTful API enables integration to perform the following:
– Browse templates that contain definitions and metadata of a logical unit of service
– Deploy a template into the cloud and form an IT topology on demand
– Perform operations (such as ONLINE, OFFLINE) on the resources

The API is based on the HTTP (version 1.1) protocol and GET, POST, PUT,
and DELETE requests are all used

Cloud Management API

Resource Models

Representations of the resources that the API operates on

Cloud resource representations are made up of name=value fields, encoded
using a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) dictionary

Each type of cloud resource has its own Internet Media Type
– application/oracle.com.cloud.<service_family>.Xxxxxxxx+json

Cloud resources are organized by common service entities
– specific services (e.g. IaaS or DBaaS) extend common service entities
where appropriate

Using Oracle’s Open API’s and Industry Standard APIs

APIs Allow Customers to Add Their Own Value

As management applications are written to the API’s we comply with, the

application will work against multiple clouds

Oracle strategy is to implement Oracle APIs first and Industry Standard
APIs as they mature and development schedules allow.

Customer can feel secure in adopting our APIs without fear of being locked in –
competitors who do not implement standards cannot say this

Standards enable portability

allow data and compute workloads to move easily between clouds,
offering choice in best of breed offerings

Standards also offer stability and discipline of version compatibility to the API
