<h3 id="rest">The CIMI REST API</h3>
<p>
Apache Deltacloud exposes the DMTF <a href="http://dmtf.org/cloud">Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface</a> (CIMI) as an alternative to the native <a href="rest-api.html">Deltacloud API</a>. This means that clients can 'speak' the CIMI API to a Deltacloud server on the frontend, managing resources in any of the backend cloud providers <a href="drivers.html#drivers">supported by Deltacloud</a>.
</p>
<div class="alert alert-error">
<strong>Note: </strong>
<p>
This is <strong> NOT </strong> a definitive guide to the DMTF CIMI specification. The full CIMI spec is available from the DMTF <a href="http://dmtf.org/cloud">Cloud Management Initiative</a> (DSP0263).

This page shows examples of interactions with the CIMI interface exposed by a Deltacloud server. The examples here cover the CIMI resources and collections that are currently supported in Deltacloud; we are constantly improving our CIMI implementation. If you come across any bugs or inconsistencies we'd be very happy to <a href="contact.html">hear about them</a>.
</p>
<p>
In the following sections, the textual definitions following the title of each resource (e.g. "Machine") that are rendered in <strong><em>bold and italic type</em></strong> are taken from the CIMI 1.0.1 specification, available from the DMTF <a href="http://dmtf.org/cloud">Cloud Management Initiative</a> (DSP0263).

<h3 id="cimi_rest_introduction">Starting Deltacloud with the CIMI interface</h3>
<p>The <strong> –frontends (-f)</strong> flag is used to specify which frontends a deltacloud server should expose:
<br>
<br></p>
<pre>
[user@name ~]$ deltacloudd -i ec2 -f cimi
Starting Deltacloud API :: ec2 :: http://localhost:3001/cimi/cloudEntryPoint
&gt;&gt; Thin web server (v1.5.0 codename Knife)
&gt;&gt; Debugging ON
&gt;&gt; Maximum connections set to 1024
&gt;&gt; Listening on localhost:3001, CTRL+C to stop
</pre>
<p><br>
The example above shows the deltacloud server with the CIMI interface and the EC2 driver. You can even expose both the deltacloud and the CIMI frontends with a single server, e.g. <strong> -f cimi,deltacloud </strong>.</p>
<p>As can be seen above, starting deltacloud in this way will expose the CIMI <a href="cimi-rest-entry-point.html">cloud entry point</a> at localhost:3001/cimi/cloudEntryPoint.</p>
