Using Image Streamer user interface or REST API
scripts
Image Streamer makes OS deployment possible through either a user interface or by using REST (REpresentational State
Transfer) APIs.
Image Streamer user interface
The Image Streamer is user-friendly, visually intuitive, and menu-driven to guide you through daily tasks. It provides alerts
and activities to provide progress and status. The user interface also provides a link to the Image Streamer Online help to
provide more information.
The user interface provides onscreen hints and tips to help you avoid and correct errors, and provides links to learn more
about the tasks. At the top of each screen, the help icon gives you access to the help system.
Image Streamer REST API
REST is a web service that uses basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations performed on resources using
HTTP
POST
,
GET
,
PUT
, and
DELETE
.
The REST APIs:
• Provide an industry-standard interface for open integration with other management platforms.
• Enable you to automate anything you can do from the user interface using your favorite scripting or programming
language.
• Are designed to be highly scalable.
Image Streamer REST API Reference provides API specifications for each artifact. The URI, method, parameters, request
body, and response body are provided to call the Image Streamer REST APIs and to build scripts around these calls.
