Lumen help
Use Lumen® Edge Service Manager to create HTTP tasks. HTTP tasks use REST (representational state transfer) API calls to perform various actions through API communication between your instance and a server or application determined by URL address.
You can execute your automated task as a single task or combine it as part of an operational or provisioning workflow.
Note: Library tab functionality is only available for AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Azure cloud providers.
