It looks like the automation api was introduced in 2021. (!!!)
I stopped using it in like 2014 or 2015 after years of requesting improvements (like better ways to automate things without stuff breaking all the time).
Me too. I have not touched it for over 2 years and big clients sre unlikely to make huge upgrades quickly anyway.
It sounds great they have arrived at the 20th century. Powershell and C#? Don't tell me it is SOAP and all XML? I kinda like the way most cloud apis are just REST and json under the hood with vendor supported python packages that work well on all major platforms.
PowerCLI is something like 10+ years old, and all it did was used the existing API's but put a pretty sheen on it for those that were confused by the graph ideas used in their full-on API.
