The WSDL is still available on ESXi port 443, you are loosing the
vCenter fanciness - which maybe big for some folks, but other than that
- it works fine.
The API calls will have to be altered as they will no longer be bound to
vCenter, but most of the calls can be re-used.
You can use local storage iSCSI, local datastore formatted as VMFS and NFS.

Mike,
I wouldn't expect things with the VMware Hypervisor (what they refer to
standalone ESXi) to work out of the box. Since you can't cluster things,
I'd expect only raw iSCSI to work, but it's been years since I've worked
with raw ESXi.

get time to add that kind of support for it).

I've added support for managed storage to XenServer, ESX/vCenter, and KVM
for CloudStack.
Another hypervisor type - to me personally - means I'd to verify managed
storage works with it.
Depending on how radical the changes for an ESX-only solution are, it may
or may not work "out of the box" for managed storage.

Hi Alex,
How do you think, what is the rough estimation of adding ESX API support
to CloudStack?
AFAIU the main point of integration of the new API is
plugins/hypervisors. Are there any other major points that should be
patched when adding a new hypervisor type?
Thanks,
Ivan

IIRC, the reason is because the vCenter API is more powerful than the
ESX API. At the time (before Apache), the features that requested
needed
vCenter. There's currently no proposal to use plain ESXi. Would love to
see one though.

Subject: Managing individual ESXi instances
Hi all,
I've sent this mail to the users list but this one looks as the
better destination.
I'm new to the CloudStack platform and I'm wondering why the
platform
does need the vCenter API and can not use ESXi directly,
Can anyone elaborate on this?
Are there any proposals for adding ESXi integration to CloudStack?
Thanks,
Ivan
