modifying the aspect of data center infrastructure based upon results of the executing.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting results from the executing the aspect of the data center infrastructure.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the aspect of data center infrastructure includes one or more add-on services.
7. A system comprising:
a processor;
a data bus coupled to the processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
monitoring an interaction of a user with a data center monitoring and management console when configuring an aspect of data center infrastructure, the configuring the aspect of data center infrastructure being performed during an infrastructure configuration experience;
executing the aspect of data center infrastructure; and,
generating an application program interface associated with the aspect of data center infrastructure, the application program interface being generated during the infrastructure configuration experience.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the monitoring, executing and generating are performed during a single session.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the monitoring records application program interface calls made when configuring the aspect of data center infrastructure.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further configured for:
modifying the aspect of data center infrastructure based upon results of the executing.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further configured for:
presenting results from the executing the aspect of the data center infrastructure.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the aspect of data center infrastructure includes one or more add-on services.
13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
monitoring an interaction of a user with a data center monitoring and management console when configuring an aspect of data center infrastructure, the configuring the aspect of data center infrastructure being performed during an infrastructure configuration experience;
