Some time ago VMware decided to give vCloud Director an API only strategy, that means the new features would only be
available through APIs call and the graphical user interface (GUI) would not be
updated to reflect these enhancements anymore, so for the clients be able to
use these new features they would need to create their own mechanism to use
them, like creating it’s own portal.
Everyone who knows me a little bit know that
among all VMware’s products the one I like the most is vCloud Director and
despite the fact if I do agree or not with this API only strategy, VMware has
decided to change vCD’s strategy back to a full feature parity between GUI and
API, I could not be more happy.
It would take some time until all the past features
like, Organization Virtual Datacenter Templates, Virtual Machine monitoring
metrics, Virtual Machine disk level storage profile and more, be available on
the GUI but we are working on it.

Long Live the vCloud Director !!!
