Developer APIs for SDDC stretched cluster

[Aishwarya2]

• I am using the latest SDK version
• This API is compatible with my vCenter version (You can get the info from the Java API Reference Documentation)
• I have searched existing issues

Environment

• sdk binding version:

• Java version:

• vSphere version:

Steps or code snippet to reproduce

Actual behavior

Expected behavior

I am currently looking for a way to provision stretched cluster SDDCs and perform operations such as Add/Remove host, Add/remove cluster etc through APIs. Currently, there's a way to provision stretched cluster SDDC only through vmc console UI

Hi,
you can find the latest vmc APIs here https://code.vmware.com/apis/603/vmware-cloud-on-aws#/sddc.
Let me know if you still need help.

I wanted to clarify that I am not looking for documentation on VMC APIs. Presently, the only way to provision a stretched cluster SDDC is through the VMC Console UI

The API for provisioning SDDC has the following request payload when trying to provision a stretched cluster through UI. I got the payload from the network call made in the developer console of firefox browser when I provisioned a stretched cluster SDDC through vmc console UI:

{
"name":"testStretchCluster",
"num_hosts":6,
"provider":"AWS",
"deployment_type":"MultiAZ",
"region":"",
"account_link_sddc_config":[
{
"customer_subnet_ids":[
"",
""
],
"connected_account_id":""
}
],
"sddc_type":"DEFAULT",
"host_instance_type":"i3.metal",
"skip_creating_vxlan":true
}

This does not look any different from trying to provision a multiAZ SDDC. It looks like creating a stretched cluster SDDC calls some other API in the background. What's the difference in payload when provisioning a multi-AZ SDDC versus stretched cluster SDDC?

It seems like there are no developer APIs available that deals with any stretched cluster SDDC operations. If I am wrong, could you point me to the right resource? If not, please consider this as a feature request
