Expectations of the Cloud

Where We Were Where We’re Going Access to Scalable Resources Highly Optimized, Integrated Cloud Services Resources Consumed Separately Resources Working Together in an Integrated System Manage the State of the Resource Control the State of the Whole System

Service Delivery Challenges

  • Delivering Services Through

Multiple Channels Requires Branding and Customization

  • The Combination of Services is

Different

  • The Business Offerings Differ
  • Customizing, Branding and

Testing the UI Components is Time Consuming

State of the Developer Frameworks

  • Developers Must Understand Service Interactions on

the Provider Side to Deliver a Complete Solution

  • Developers Rely on Trial and Error for Service

Integration

  • Constant Reaction to Service Provider Changes - New

Services are Added, Old Services Decommissioned

Which API Flavor?

  • APIs are Using Different Protocols and Payload Formats

– SOAP, REST, JSON, XML

  • RESTful APIs Take Advantage of the Internet Infrastructure
  • Simple, Intuitive Programming Model – GET, PUT, DELETE,

POST

  • Can be Globally Distributed
  • The Ability to Traverse the API and Discover the Appropriate

Resources Eliminates the Guesswork

Hostway Approach to the Public API

  • API Surface, Not Disconnected APIs
  • We Are Responsible for Supporting the Developers and

Providing the Intelligence Through our API

  • Each Resource Provides Links to Related Resources form the

Same or Other Services

  • Connects the Different Levels of the Cloud Resources (“IaaS”

resource activation to “SaaS” OSS/BSS account)

Hypermedia in the API Resources

  • The Related Resources Change Based on the

Internal Configuration and the State of the Account

  • Clients Don’t Have to Implement Business Logic

to Determine What Options are Available on Every Step

  • Determine What Options are Available on the

Server Side and Provide the Relevant URIs to the Client

Hypermedia Example - Pagination

{ … "links": [ { "rel": "self", "href": "https://api.hostway.com/entities?page=1&pageSize=20" }, { "rel": "first", "href": "https://api.hostway.com/entities?page=1&pageSize=20" }, { "rel": "next", "href": "https://api.hostway.com/entities?page=2&pageSize=20" }, { "rel": "last", "href": "https://api.hostway.com/entities?page=12&pageSize=20" } ] }

Advantages from using API

  • Partners

– More Options for Integrating the Services into the Partner’s Portal – New Services are Available Immediately

  • Resellers

– Bundle the Services Provided with Additional Value Add Services – Ability to Outsource the Implementation of the Solution

  • Enterprises

– Integrate Cloud Resources with Existing Enterprise Management Systems – Implement Complex Business Workflows
