Infinite integration capabilities
Limitless integrations
The powerful API enables organisations to build on and integrate their own services, processes and technologies around the Abiquo platform. The opportunities are pretty much limitless, though we have worked with partners whom have utilized the API to;
- Build and organize virtualized resources
- Integrate with customer portals and front ends
- Allocate infrastructure
- Provision resources
- Deploy virtual machines
- Change security policies
- Notify support groups
- Automate backups
- Track customer activity
- Create support tickets
- Update 3rd party CMDBs… and more!
Infact, pretty much anything is possible, your organization is only limited by your ingenuity – and that’s a key requirement for building differentiated services.

More than a powerful API
In addition to a fully functional RESTful application programming interface, v2.6 improves integration capabilities further with the addition of outbound event streaming through the Atmosphere framework.
This feature aims to help third-party software providers to develop software for integration with the Abiquo platform; allowing customers to drive external systems or processes based on activity on the Abiquo platform.
For example you may want to be notified when a new VM is deployed so that an asset management register can be updated. Users can subscribe to a specific event, a set of events, or all events. Users will need to have access to the Abiquo API and privileges to access events.
You can read more about the different types of events recorded on the Abiquo platform here.
Abiquo allows organisations to tightly integrate their cloud solutions into their existing business processes and technologies
