openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  description: 'The Anbox Management Service (AMS) external REST API is the REST API used by

    all AMS clients. Note that internal endpoints are not included in this

    documentation.


    The AMS API is available over both a local unix+http and a remote https API.

    Authentication for local users relies on group membership and access to the

    unix socket. For remote users, the default authentication method is TLS client

    certificates.'
