Platform Types

There are a number of predefined APS types implementing the Abstract Types that the platform exposes for APS applications and external management systems to manage the APS resources presenting various platform services.

Note

The direct resource management is the main goal of the platform APS types as opposed to the Abstract Types, whose main goal is to provide base types for inheritance (implementation).

All platform APS types implement the respective Abstract Types as illustrated in concepts. All platform APS types are split into several groups, each aimed to manage a kind of resources or to present a special functionality:

  • Account Management contains APS types to manage accounts and users. It also includes platform specific APS types used to expose the user and privilege management operations.

  • Configuration Management provides an APS type that defines an operation to get some platform properties.
