Resource pool services
The resource pool services are an application programming interface (API), which is implemented through industry standard Representational State Transfer (REST) services. These services allow the caller to obtain and release network or WLM resources from the network or WLM resource pool that was defined in support of IBM Cloud Provisioning and Management for z/OS. These REST services are intended to be invoked from a workflow step during cloud provisioning and are not available for general use outside of the scope of cloud provisioning.
