govcloudair

This repo provides the govcloudair package which offers an interface to the vCloud Air 5.6 and 5.7 API and vCloud Director 5.5 API.

It serves as a foundation for a project currently in development, there are plans to make it a general purpose API in the future. The govcloudair package is used by the Terraform provider for vCloud Director.

The API is currently under heavy development, its coverage is extremely limited at the moment.

The bindings now support both Subscription and On-demand accounts and vCloud Director 5.5
