(Tutorial) Scripting And Integration with the oVirt Engine
summary
oVirt exposes a core REST API (XML/JSON) plus an auto‑generated Python SDK and CLI; creating a VM requires name, cluster and template, and examples use curl and session cookies for performance. RSDL documents required fields per engine version. UI plugins add main/sub tabs, action buttons and single‑sign‑on hooks (examples: Foreman dashboard, NetApp flow), scheduling adds chainable filter and weight modules (example: max-vms filter implemented in Python), and VDSM hooks edit libvirt XML (watchdog demo) to extend behavior.
