Abstract: An example method of accessing object data managed by virtual infrastructure (VI) services of virtualization management software that manages a cluster of hosts in a data center and a virtualization layer executing in the cluster of hosts includes: receiving, from a client at a unified data service executing in the virtualization management software, a request for accessing the object data; planning, in response to the request, an operation to access the object data that targets a first VI service of the VI services; invoking, in response to the operation, an application programming interface (API) of the first VI service to access the object data, the API being exposed by a unified data library integrated with the first VI service; and forwarding, from the unified data service to the client, a result of accessing the object data.

Abstract: A method of managing the sharing of inventory data across a plurality of data centers, includes the steps of detecting a change made to the inventory data by one of the data centers, updating a desired state document that specifies a desired state of each of the data centers, the updated desired state document including the inventory data as changed, and instructing each of other ones of the data centers to update the inventory data using the updated desired state document. Each of the data centers employ a database for storing the inventory data, and so after the remaining ones of the data centers have updated the inventory data using the updated desired state document, the change made to the inventory data stored in the database of one of the data centers is replicated in the respective databases of the remaining ones of the data centers.
