SOAP APIs
Red Hat CloudForms also supports SOAP APIs, but this will eventually be phased out. There is a collection of web services available that are categorized under Insight, Control and Automate:
- Insight web services are related to data collected by virtual infrastructure
- Control web services are related to policies and governance
- Automate web services are related to creation of workflows and provisioning of resources
Calling a Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
You can call WSDL using many web service clients, such as Windows PowerShell. Scripts, syntax, and formats vary from one client to another.
