Compatibility report — 0.1.0
This report records evidence for simulator release 0.1.0 against the vSphere Automation API route registry (catalog majors 6–9, primary contract major 9 / 8.0 U2). It is a limitation matrix for quality / external integration dimensions, not a claim of general vCenter/ESXi hardware compatibility.
For the user-facing overview see compatibility.md. Live
machine-readable counts are always available from
/ui/api/compatibility?major=N when the simulator is running.
Summary (major 9 / vSphere 8.0 U2 primary contract)
| Level | Methods | Universe share | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Declared in universe (Broadcom operations index → route table) | 1077 | 100% | app/vsphere/rest/universe.json |
| Implemented at major 9 (catalog floor) | 1077 | 100% | app/vsphere/contracts/matrix.py |
| Core deep handlers (inventory/lifecycle/tagging/content/appliance) | 104 | 9.7% | app/vsphere/rest/coverage.py (CORE_IMPLEMENTED) |
| DB-backed stub surface (remaining registry) | ~973 | 90.3% | app/vsphere/rest/stub_surface.py against vsphere_api_state |
| Verified / observed surface ledger | 1077 | 100% | evidence/vsphere-8.0.2.json |
Coverage by catalog major
| Major | vSphere label | Implemented | Universe | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 7.0 | 31 | 1077 | 2.88% |
| 7 | 7.0 U3 | 77 | 1077 | 7.15% |
| 8 | 8.0 | 103 | 1077 | 9.56% |
| 9 | 8.0 U2 | 1077 | 1077 | 100.00% |
Implemented here is a catalog-floor score for Web UI browse and evidence
reports, regenerated with make evidence / make vsphere-bundles and
guarded by tests/compatibility/test_verified_surface.py. It does not
gate live traffic — see API surface for why runtime always
serves the registered route regardless of the applied major.
Implemented surface (high level)
- Session:
/api/session,/rest/com/vmware/cis/session, SOAPLogin/Logout— all durable in PostgreSQL (vsphere_sessions,vsphere_credentials). - Inventory: VM/host/datastore/network/datacenter/cluster/folder/resource-pool list+get, plus create/delete for datacenter/cluster/folder/resource-pool.
- VM lifecycle: create, delete, power, hardware (CPU/memory/disk/NIC/boot), snapshots, clone, relocate, guest identity/networking/power/customization, console tickets, tools.
- Tasks:
/api/cis/tasks, real ids fromvsphere_tasks, SOAP task MoRefs. - Tagging / content library: categories, tags, associations, libraries, library items, update/download sessions, OVF deploy.
- Authorization: privileges, roles, permissions CRUD, identity providers.
- Appliance: version, health, networking (hostname/DNS), timesync.
- SOAP / VIM: RetrieveServiceContent, PropertyCollector (RetrieveProperties/Ex, ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx, CreateFilter, WaitForUpdatesEx), FindBy* / FindChild, CreateVM_Task and friends, guest file operations, HttpNfcLease import flow, WSDL stub.
- Platform lab surfaces: seeded (non-binary-compatible) NSX/Supervisor/vSAN/ SAML-OIDC/VECS-cert stand-ins — see API coverage for the exact list and caveats.
Persistence principle
Every create/update/delete path writes to PostgreSQL (tables and/or the
vsphere_api_state catch-all). Secrets may be stored but must not be echoed
on GET. User-facing "not supported in the emulator" errors are forbidden for
registered paths — see .cursor/rules/durable-simulator.mdc.
Known limitations
| Area | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| External systems | NSX/LDAP/SAML/OIDC/ACME do not contact real remotes; state is simulated locally |
| TLS | Local nginx gateway with a checked-in self-signed development key only |
| Client certification | pyvmomi/govmomi-style SOAP smoke + Ansible/Terraform/Pulumi cookbooks; not a formal certification suite for every provider version |
| Provider smoke | The pulumi-vsphere suite under pulumi-tests/ (make pulumi-tests) exercises SOAP-backed inventory/VM/tag resources with nonempty export checks; semantic depth still varies (deep handlers vs DB-backed stubs). Latest full run (2026-07-18): 7/7 cases, REST 1987/1987, critical=0 — see pulumi-tests/README.md |
Full registry coverage at major 9 means HTTP 501 "handler pending" should not appear for any route in the simulator's registry. Compatibility quality (exact vSphere edge-case parity) still deepens with tests and observation.
When importing a refreshed Broadcom operations index dump: regenerate
universe.json (make vsphere-universe), regenerate bundles/evidence
(make vsphere-bundles, make evidence), run
pytest tests/compatibility/test_verified_surface.py, and commit the updated
evidence/vsphere-*.json ledgers.
