I'm still looking to understand when we create a new API vs overloading an existing API. Sometimes this depends on the breakdown of operations. For instance, the LoadBalancerRule API only creates the LB Rule while adding instances to that rule is a different operation. So two APIs were created for the purpose. -- Prasanna.,
