Parallels RAS (Remote Application Server) recently introduced a Custom Provider Framework (CPF), which allows RAS to manage hypervisors that aren't natively supported as Tier 1 providers. This works through script-based connectors that implement onboarding, VM enumeration, guest info retrieval, power operations, template promotion/versioning, and cloning — all driven through the RAS management console.

Parallels has already published example scripts for Proxmox on GitHub:

Since XCP-ng/Xen Orchestra isn't currently a supported provider in RAS, I wanted to ask:

Would Vates be interested in developing (or assisting the community in developing) a Custom Provider connector for XCP-ng, using the XO REST API / XO-CLI, following the same pattern as the Proxmox example?
Is this something the Vates engineering team could pick up directly, or would a community-driven contribution (with Vates guidance/review) make more sense?

Having XCP-ng available as a Custom Provider in RAS would be a great addition for organizations running both platforms, and would broaden XCP-ng's reach into environments already standardized on Parallels RAS for application/desktop delivery.

Happy to help test or provide feedback on any early implementation if useful.
