[Xen-users] Programmatic management alternatives of Xen domains

["Ciprian Dorin, Craciun" <ciprian.craciun@xxxxxxxxx>]

    Hello all!

    We (my colleagues and I) want to integrate Xen into an
infrastructure management platform, and would like to programmatically
manage Xen domains (creating, querying, migrating, etc.).

    So I've done a small search on the "web" for a Xen API, and I've
found the following alternatives.

    Alternatives (are there any other ones?):
    * XenApi ( http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenApi ) -- XML-RPC
-- current standard (?) -- I guess all features and stable;
    * xm and other command line tools -- we could use directly these
tools -- all features and stable;
    * XAPI ( http://xenbits.xen.org/xapi ??) -- library -- next
standard (?) -- guess still in development and unstable;
    * libxenlight (
http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2009/11/09/libxenlight-released/ ) --
only announced, no specific site yet (?);

    Thus I would like to ask the community members their opinion
related to the most advised (short and long term) API for this. (We
don't need remote access, local is Ok as we'll have an "agent" running
on each Dom0.)

    Thank you all,
    Ciprian.
