HP CloudSystem Matrix/Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Integration Interfaces API and CLI Operations Reference Guide

Integration Interface Overview
Figure 1 HP Matrix Operating Environment Integration Interfaces
Figure 1 (page 8) depicts the set of integration interfaces allowing customers and partners to
integrate Matrix OE capabilities into their environment and products.
The integration interfaces include:
• Web Service Interfaces to initiate lifecycle operations on infrastructure services including
creation and deletion of services, and to view or modify an existing service. These operations
are also accessible via command line tools for use in scripts.
• Customizable OO workflows that are invoked during every IO operation. Customers can
modify these workflows to integrate Matrix OE with enterprise processes.
• Customer or Partner authored OO workflows that may be associated with a particular
infrastructure template and triggered as part of IO operations. For example, partners can use
these integrations to provide unique capabilities related to their applications or for differentiated
service management.
• Software deployment technology integration: The IO installer provides out-of-the-box integration
with HP server deployment technologies and VMware and Microsoft Virtual Machine
deployment technologies. It may, with factory support, be extended to support other deployment
technologies.
This document describes the Web Service Interfaces.
