I just downloaded the Programmer's Guide for both SLM 1.0RC2 and API Services 1.2 and compared them.
Indeed these two PG's appear to be pretty much identical, the ToC is (quite clearly). Same no of pages, same page numbers etc -- it looks like the string "API Services" was replaced with "Service Level Manager" everywhere. Plus other significant changes and adjustments as well here and there, e.g. pp 7-8.
Interesting.

It doesn't express clearly anywhere that I have been able to find that API Service will be replaced completely by the new SLM (that may be the case?). It just says:
- Platform-specific device APIs for storage management
- SLO-based APIs for service level management of storage resources
- Access to pre-defined Storage Service Lvls by using the web UI and APIs
- Automatic mapping of SSLs to storage resources
- Automatic provisioning as per the storage service level by using APIs
- Monitoring and regulating based on used or allocated capacity
So the point #1 may be what is in actual fact a replacement, or inclusion of the current API Services. I don't know, there's nothing anywhere that says this explicitly.
Anyone knows any more details around the plans fort his? Will API Services be decommissioned in the future (far or near)?
I'm a customer so the Field Portal doesn't really tell me anything
