Integrating the Lifecycle Controller API

This section outlines the resources required to integrate the Lifecycle Controller API into an application:

• API Clients– Lists the API clients that are available to support WinRM or WSMAN. The API clients enable a you to create an application

in a variety of programming languages.

• Best Practices Guide— Provides information about the common work ows, where in ready-to-use Python scripts are provided for all

the common work ows.

• Sample Scripts and Tools— Provides additional working examples and reference.

• Applications Using Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services — Lists several existing applications that are already integrated with the

Lifecycle Controller API.

• WinRM and OpenWSMAN Installation and Conguration— Identies resources for conguring WinRM and WSMAN.
