[jira] [Commented] (JCLOUDS-574) Support for vCloud Automation Center and the deprecation of vCloud Director for enterprise

["John Muller (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14283851#comment-14283851 ] 

John Muller commented on JCLOUDS-574:
-------------------------------------

I was provided the vCAC API documents by VMWare consultants, but not the old vCD docs to diff them against.  Anyway, this effort is almost certainly not work it with the introduction of VMWare Integrated OpenStack:

Our VMWare consultants state that it will be out of beta by the end of Q1.  

Marking this request as resolved.
