Your comment on the open availability of EMC VMware API documentation
appears to be correct. Nonetheless, my institution under the
administrative (not academic/research) IT unit has selected (rammed down
our throats?) VMware on the virtual administrative servers. Hence,
assuming that there are others on this list who must deal with this
proprietary product, what works? REST supposedly works.

All of the docs I could find on the EMC/VMWare solution are behind
register-walls. Sorry.

Is the EMC VMWare "cloud virtualisation" suite
consistent/compliant with kvm/libvirt, etc.? My understanding is
that the EMC product is compatible with typical REST
implimentations in that these evolved from various HTTP related
services.
Also, for reasons we could discuss off-list (or on list if you
prefer), my personal preference is for Xen as a virtualisation
suites. My understanding is that Xen does well integrate into a
number of environments and distros.

I would think that your definition of 'cloud' is the most
important aspect here, not whether or not the term 'Red Hat' is
associated with it.
The virtualization technology powering RHEV is kvm, which is
fully compliant with libvirt (http://libvirt.org/). If you didn't
want to use RHEV or Ovirt you could interact direclty with the
libvirt API. The business logic that those products provide isn't
there, of course, but you could build that out yourself if you
were so inclined. It just takes time & talent.
Is that what you're talking about wanting?

Does SL (i.e., TUV EL) have a standard enterprise-quality
production REST API that will interoperate with non-EL "clouds"?
The most I could find on a short search is:
http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/12/12/advanced_integration_rhevm-part1/
Advanced integration with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager (RHEV-M) – Part 1 of 2
and
https://fedorahosted.org/rhevm-api/
This is an effort to define an official REST API for Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization
<http://www.redhat.com/virtualization/rhev/>.
but that the fedorahosted project above is obsolete, replaced by:
http://www.ovirt.org/Subprojects
in which any mention of TUV by name is in the title of each
reference.
