Currently we're building a small datacenter. For the Infrastructure-as-a-Service part I'm planning to use VMWare vSphere. I know VMWare is pushing its vCloud API so my question is: how can I install and use this API within my own datacenter?
A:
Right now VMware is expecting this to be implemented by the service providers themselves. For example BlueLock, Terramark and Hosting.com have implementations provided by the companies' implementations of vCloud Express.

A:
If you are going to use vSphere I strongly advise you to examine PowerCLI. PowerCLI is snapin to Powershell. With PowerCLI you have wonders of Powershell and tools which you can use to automate / manage almost any aspect of vSphere.
vCloud API is currently at beta and it's targeted to vCloud Service Director. It's currently private beta.

To close my question, I've implemented all the communication using PowerCLI. Documentations suks, but still usable. Had to learn a lot with reflector but in the end - I have working product
