Hi,
let me introduce some basic concepts when using REST API from the command line. I hope, it would be useful for newcomers.
Very useful in creating working instance from scratch. Are there any plans to extend it to cover more commands? Thanks

It depends on available documentation and samples, too. Do you have ideas, what should be covered? The intent was to provide inspiration, not start a new project, but from practical point of view, extensions would be useful.

Can you please explain the difference from using the ovirt-shell cli tool?

Hi, I recommend not using bash but standard POSIX shell. There is almost nothing that cannot be done in standard POSIX shell these days, so no need to have constraint. Regards, Alon ----- Original Message -----
