About:
The Parallels Virtualization SDK provides developers with a comprehensive set of APIs and tools to build applications that interact with Parallels Desktop virtual machines. It enables automation of VM lifecycle management, including creation, configuration, and control, directly from code. This SDK is essential for integrating virtualization capabilities into custom development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Full-featured API for VM automation and management
  • Support for multiple programming languages including Python and C
  • Command-line interface for scripting and integration
  • Access to guest OS control and file system operations
Use Cases:
  • Automating the creation and provisioning of test environments
  • Integrating virtual machine management into CI/CD pipelines
  • Developing custom tools for system administration and DevOps
Alternatives:
  • Vagrant – Open-source tool focused on building and managing virtual machine environments, with broader provider support but less specific integration with Parallels Desktop.
  • VMware Fusion API – VMware's equivalent SDK for automating Fusion, offering similar capabilities for the VMware ecosystem.
