PowerCLI and vCloud Director

[avarcher]

Does / can PowerCLI be used to script the config of a vCloud Director cloud?

Cheers, Andy.

You could use PowerCLI to configure the vSphere layer underneath VCD, but it doesn't support VCD. I know nothing about PowerShell but I assume there's a way to build on top of the vCloud API .NET toolkit, which would let you manage resources in VCD.

Hi Andy,

Take a look at my vCloud Powershell functions. Let me know if there is anything specific you need, as they are still in development.

Just thought I would update this with a note that PowerCLI 5.0.1 has a vCloud Director snap-in.

Be sure to check the box during installation, and then use:

Add-PSSnapin vmware.vimautomation.cloud
