YugabyteDB Anywhere REST API

This skill covers the YBA control-plane REST API — the HTTP API exposed by a self-managed YugabyteDB Anywhere (YBA) instance for managing providers, releases, universes, backups, KMS, alerts, HA, RBAC, and DR.

It is not about:

• YugabyteDB Aeon — fully-managed cloud DBaaS, different API surface.
• YSQL / YCQL — the database APIs (PostgreSQL- and Cassandra-compatible) on ports 5433 / 9042.

Reference docs:

• Interactive reference: https://api-docs.yugabyte.com/docs/yugabyte-platform/f10502c9c9623-yugabyte-db-anywhere-api-overview
• v1 endpoint registry (Play routes): https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/blob/master/managed/src/main/resources/v1.routes
• v2 OpenAPI spec: https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/tree/master/managed/src/main/resources/openapi (entry point: paths/_index.yaml)

This skill includes:

• references/python-client.md — minimal Python wrapper (yba_request) plus splat-style usage. Read this when writing or generating Python code.
• references/powershell-client.md — standalone PowerShell wrapper (Invoke-YbaRequest, Get-YbaApiToken, Register-YbaInstance, Get-YbaCustomerId) that does not require the powershell-yba module. Read this when the user is on PowerShell or has no Python available.
• references/recipes.md — concrete request/response shapes for register/login, providers, releases, v1 and v2 universe creation (cloud and Kubernetes), storage configs (incl. multi-region S3 with HTTPS proxy), telemetry providers, universe health checks and alerts, runtime configuration at all scopes, backups/restore, and async tasks. Read this when crafting an unfamiliar request.
• references/prometheus.md — querying the Prometheus instance bundled with YBA on port 9090 for universe metrics (YCQL/YSQL ops/sec, latency histograms, container CPU/memory on Kubernetes, node-exporter CPU on cloud, tablet-leader balance, xCluster lag). Includes Python and PowerShell helpers and the node_prefix / pod-regex derivation from a universe API response. Read this when the user wants metrics, dashboards or charts.
