Compatibility
This document explains how the simulator claims compatibility with the vSphere Automation API across catalog majors 6–9. Prefer live reports when the process is running.
Live reports
| URL | Format |
|---|---|
/ui/api/compatibility?major=N |
JSON |
The Web UI also exposes a compatibility panel driven by this endpoint.
Registry vs verified surface coverage
| Major | vSphere label | Implemented / universe | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 7.0 | 31 / 1077 | 2.9% |
| 7 | 7.0 U3 | 77 / 1077 | 7.2% |
| 8 | 8.0 | 103 / 1077 | 9.6% |
| 9 | 8.0 U2 (Automation 9.1 surface) | 1077 / 1077 | 100% |
- Universe — unique verb+path routes derived from the public vSphere Automation API operations index (1348 documented operations → ~1037 unique routes → 1077 registered in this simulator's route table, since some paths back multiple named operations).
- Implemented (per major) — routes whose catalog floor
(
app/vsphere/contracts/matrix.py) is at or below that major. This is a catalog/documentation score, not a live-traffic gate. - Runtime — regardless of the applied catalog major, every registered route is always served by its real handler (104 deep handlers) or the DB-backed stub surface. See API surface.
After Apply as runtime (POST /ui/api/contract/apply?major=N), the live
report loads that major's ledger (evidence/vsphere-{version}.json) so the
Web UI compatibility panel reflects the selected major.
Evidence dimensions
Per-major ledgers in evidence/vsphere-{version}.json record declared,
implemented, observed, and verified counts plus per-HTTP-verb and
per-domain (auth_session, inventory, …) breakdowns. Regenerate with:
make evidence # app/evidence_gen.py
make vsphere-bundles # stub OpenAPI matrices + evidence ledgers together
Executable backing for those claims:
| Suite | Role |
|---|---|
tests/compatibility/test_verified_surface.py |
hot-swap + ledger drift + score gates |
tests/compatibility/test_group_smoke.py |
representative REST group mutations with PostgreSQL |
tests/compatibility/test_vsphere_pyvmomi.py |
external pyvmomi SOAP smoke |
tests/integration/test_vsphere_full_api.py |
broad REST/SOAP integration coverage |
Additional cookbooks under examples/ and the
pulumi-vsphere lab suite under pulumi-tests/
(make pulumi-tests) are manual or CI-optional depending on the stack.
Latest lab run (2026-07-18)
| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
make test (offline) |
161 passed |
make test-vsphere (pytest + surface/matrix/dump/nonempty) |
73 pytest passed; probes 0 failures (Terraform cookbook binary mismatch only) |
make pulumi-tests (full hybrid) |
7 / 7 passed; Layer A REST 1987 / 1987, critical=0 |

Known behavioural limits
| Area | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| External systems | NSX Manager, live LDAP/SAML/OIDC IdPs, and ACME directories do not contact real remotes; seeded/local state only |
| TLS | Local self-signed development gateway only (Compose); use your own certs / cert-manager for real deployments |
| Hypervisor | No real ESXi/KVM execution; no binary NFC uploads |
| Observation corpus | Sanitized real-vCenter observation data remains limited; deep semantic parity is verified path-by-path via the suites above, not by exhaustive production diffing |
