I'm not sure how hard it is technically. But for ISV's, I can tell you
that almost nobody has experience with it.
But, is this intended to be a public API though?
yes, for VDSM.
but if we go with ovirt-lite for single node, they will get exactly the
same REST API as the full engine has.
otherwise they will get a "similar" API, which meand double
coding/testing/etc.
btw, i think QMF has a REST bridge, but still it will be a different api
than going the engine-lite approach.
