BaseFromPath returns a BaseComputeResource for a given path.

BaseFromReference returns a BaseComputeResource for a given managed object reference.

BaseProperties returns the base-level ComputeResource managed object for a BaseComputeResource, an interface that any base-level ComputeResource and derivative object implements.

BasePropertiesFromReference combines BaseFromReference and BaseProperties to get a base-level ComputeResource managed object for a specific managed object reference.

DefaultDevicesFromReference fetches the default virtual device list for a specific compute resource from a supplied managed object reference.

EnvironmentBrowserFromReference loads an environment browser for the specific compute resource reference.

HasChildren checks to see if a compute resource has any child items (hosts and virtual machines) and returns true if that is the case.

OSFamily uses the compute resource's environment browser to get the OS family for a specific guest ID.

Reconfigure reconfigures any BaseComputeResource that uses a BaseComputeResourceConfigSpec as configuration (example: standalone hosts, or clusters).

StandaloneFromID locates a ComputeResource by its managed object reference ID.

BaseComputeResource is an interface that ComputeResource and any derivative types will implement on part of having all of the methods available to ComputeResource.
