Methods if minimal AM API v3 is adopted

If the 'minimal' AM API v3 set of change sets is adopted, the AM API methods will be as follows:

GetVersion

struct GetVersion([optional: struct options])

Return struct:

      {
        int geni_api;
        struct geni_api_versions {
             URL <this API version #>; # value is a URL, name is a number
             [optional: other supported API versions and the URLs where they run]
        }
        array geni_request_rspec_versions of {
             string type;
             string version;
             string schema;
             string namespace;
             array extensions of string;
        };
        array geni_ad_rspec_versions of {
             string type;
             string version;
             string schema;
             string namespace;
             array extensions of string;
        };
      }

ListResources

struct ListResources(string credentials[], struct options)

Where options include:

{
  boolean geni_available;
  boolean geni_compressed;
  string geni_slice_urn;
  struct geni_rspec_version {
    string type;
    string version;
  };
}

Return: rspec (ad or Manifest)

CreateSlivers

struct CreateSlivers(string slice_urn,
                    string credentials[],
                    string rspec,
                    struct users[],
                    struct options)

Options include:

{
  boolean geni_donotstart (optional)
}

Return struct:

{
 string rspec=<manifest>,
 geni_expires=<RFC3339 sliver expiration, as in geni_expires from SliversStatus>,
 string geni_status=<sliver state - allocated or changing or ready>,
 <others that are AM specific>
}

RenewSlivers

struct RenewSlivers(string slice_urn,
                    string credentials[],
                    string expiration_time, 
                    struct options)

Return: boolean

SliversStatus

struct SliversStatus(string slice_urn, string credentials[], struct options)

Return:

{
  string geni_urn: <sliver URN>
  string geni_status: <ready or changing or allocated...>
  geni_expires: <datetime of expiration>
  struct geni_resources: [ { geni_urn: <resource URN>
                      geni_status: ready
                      geni_error: ''},
                    { geni_urn: <resource URN>
                      geni_status: ready
                      geni_error: ''}
                  ]
}

Where for individual resources this block may be returned:

'users' => [{'urn'   => $user1_urn.
             'login' => $login,
             'protocol' => [ssh, or ?],
             'port' => [22 or ?],
             'keys'  => [...] },
            {'urn'   => $user2_urn.
             'login' => $login,
             'protocol' => [ssh, or ?],
             'port' => [22 or ?],
             'keys'  => [...] }
           ]

StartSlivers

struct StartSlivers(string slice_urn, string credentials[], struct options)

Return: boolean

DeleteSlivers

struct DeleteSlivers(string slice_urn, string credentials[], struct options)

Return: boolean

Shutdown

struct Shutdown(string slice_urn, string credentials[], struct options)

Return: boolean
