Centralized management of api communications across federated controllers

A system that supports a centralized controller that federates Application Programming Interface (API) communications with federated controllers, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the centralized controller to perform operations comprising:
• enrolling the federated controllers with the centralized controller that provides a unified interface through which a user interacts with the federated controllers;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a request from the user to cause the federated controllers to perform an operation;
• determining that the federated controllers include a first federated controller of a first controller type and a second federated controller of a second controller type;
• mapping the request to a first API call that is supported by controllers of the first controller type that causes the first federated controller to perform the operation;
• mapping the request to a second API call that is supported by controllers of the second controller type that causes the second federated controller to perform the operation, the second API call being different than the first API call;
• sending, from the centralized controller, the first API call to the first federated controller and the second API call to the second federated controller;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a first response including a first result of the operation performed by the first federated controller;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a second response including a second result of the operation performed by the second federated controller;
• aggregating the first result and the second result into an aggregated result;
• and
• providing the user with access to the aggregated result.

A computing device that supports a centralized controller that federates Application Programming Interface (API) communications with federated controllers, the computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the centralized controller to perform operations comprising:
• enrolling the federated controllers with the centralized controller that provides a unified interface through which a user interacts with the federated controllers;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a request from the user to cause the federated controllers to perform an operation;
• determining that the federated controllers include a first federated controller of a first controller type and a second federated controller of a second controller type;
• sending, from the centralized controller, a first API call to the first federated controller, the first API call being supported by the first controller type and causing the first federated controller to perform the operation;
• sending, from the centralized controller, a second API call to the second federated controller, the second API call being supported by the second controller type and causing the second federated controller to perform the operation;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a first response including a first result of the operation performed by the first federated controller;
• receiving, at the centralized controller, a second response including a second result of the operation performed by the second federated controller;
• aggregating the first result and the second result into an aggregated result;
• and
• providing the user with access to the aggregated result.
