I'm skeptical - like Joe says, this is a general problem and management tooling will have generic ways of tackling this without using a REST API. > In terms of multi API servers, obviously each server would respond > to the API with the values it has set, so operators could check any or > all of the servers....and this actually becomes more important as > people distribute config files around to the various servers (since > more chance of something getting out of sync). The fact that it only deals with API servers, and that you need to bypass the load balancer in order to iterate over all API servers, makes this of very limited use IMHO.
