PowerProtect Data Manager is built around a focus on the REST API interface, which makes it ideal for DevOps. Being a product of the modern age, its focus, you might say, is REST API first — rather than something that has been added to a product that grew up in the classic CLI age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(I’ll admit, I’m not the most savvy developer when it comes to REST APIs. That’s probably because I still prefer coding in Perl over Python, and well, Perl’s REST API processes are a little kludgy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, you don’t have to rely on me for REST API tips, tricks and examples when it comes to Data Manager though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, I’d like to draw your attention to the IaC Avengers<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, a group of experts from the Dell presales team who are passionate about DevOps. They regularly publish videos about DevOps integration with a variety of Dell Technologies products, and of course, that includes Data Manager as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They have a growing playlist of Data Manager videos that you can find here<\/a><\/strong>, but I’d like to draw your attention to their latest one in particular from Raghava Jainoje and Alberto Ramos that demonstrates data protection as a service by integrating Data Manager and ServiceNow via Ansible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
