<h1>Cloud API Specification - Requests to VDC Resources</h1> The requests documented in this section are directed to ''VDC'' resources, which represent an entire Virtual Data Center. The ''VDC URI'' used to retrieve a given VDC representation will be defined by the service implementor, not by this API specification. From there on, the URIs for all resources related to this VDC can be discovered (directly or indirectly) from the VDC representation itself. A VDC resource is read only from the perspective of this API, although its server side content is modified as a side effect of many other API requests. You should plan on performing the Get VDC request periodically to update your client's view of the VDC resource model. __TOC__ = Get VDC = Retrieve information about a cloud service VDC.
