  Parallels ships no conventional server-side REST SDK (the RAS REST API is a
  self-hosted admin API). First-party client tooling is infrastructure-oriented:
  the RAS PowerShell admin module, and official Terraform/Packer/Vagrant/Docker
  Machine integrations for Parallels Desktop, published from the Parallels GitHub org.
