The Web Services for Management (WS-Management) Specification describes a Web services 282 protocol based on SOAP for use in management-specific domains. These domains include the 283 management of entities such as PCs, servers, devices, Web services and other applications, and 284 other manageable entities. Services can expose only a WS-Management interface or compose the 285 WS-Management service interface with some of the many other Web service specifications. 286 A crucial application for these services is in the area of systems management. To promote 287 interoperability between management applications and managed resources, this specification 288 identifies a core set of Web service specifications and usage requirements that expose a common set 289 of operations central to all systems management. This includes the ability to do the following: 290 - Get, put (update), create, and delete individual resource instances, such as settings and 291 dynamic values 292 - Enumerate the contents of containers and collections, such as large tables and logs 293 - Subscribe to events emitted by managed resources 294 - Execute specific management methods with strongly typed input and output parameters 295 In each of these areas of scope, this specification defines minimal implementation requirements for 296 conformant Web service implementations. An implementation is free to extend beyond this set of 297 operations, and to choose not to support one or more of the preceding areas of functionality if that 298 functionality is not appropriate to the target device or system. 299 This specification intends to meet the following requirements: 300 - Constrain Web services protocols and formats so that Web services can be implemented 301 with a small footprint in both hardware and software management services. 302 - Define minimum requirements for compliance without constraining richer implementations. 303 - Ensure backward compatibility and interoperability with WS-Management version 1.0. 304 - Ensure composability with other Web services specifications.
