VMware SDK and API Support
Overview
The VMware SDK and API support offering provides access to VMware Application Programming Interface (API) expert engineers to get your solutions to market quickly. These professionals have years of experience working with third-party solutions, and possess in-depth knowledge of VMware APIs. This program is ideal for Independent Software/Hardware Vendors (ISVs/IHVs), commercial and enterprise organizations building solutions for managing VMware environments.
VMware SDK and API Support is available in two service level agreements: Standard support provides a response within two business days, and Premium support provides a response within one business day. SDK Support engineers won't write or test your code, but they may suggest sample code for a possible solution.
SDK Support will help you answer questions such as the following:
- Can I do this task with an SDK?
- How do I do it?
- I tried it, and it's not working. Did I do it correctly?
- It doesn't perform like it is supposed to. Is this a bug?
- Why are my scripts not working in the new release of vSphere?
