| Resource types | BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management is structured to use two general categories of resources:
This topic provides an overview of the following specific resource types: |
| Tenant management | A tenant in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management can be a company, organization, or any other group of users. The use of tenants in the cloud allows a company or service provider to segregate companies or organizations in the cloud, and to control the visibility and permissions to offerings in the Service Catalog. This topic describes the concept of tenant management and multitenancy in relation to BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. |
| Policy management | The Service Governor defines policies that determine how cloud end user requests get mapped to underlying resources. Policies specify the automatic selection of compute, network, and storage pools during provisioning. Policies also let cloud administrators specify selection of resources based on customer-based attributes, such as tenants, service quality, and performance. This topic contains an overview of tags and tag groups and policies. |
| Quota management | In BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, you can determine the ability to allocate and monitor resources to a tenant or to a cloud user. By default, unlimited quota is allocated to the tenants and maximum quota is allocated to the cloud users. A cloud administrator can determine the number of resources to be allocated to any tenant depending upon the tenant's requirement. Cloud users are assigned quota from the tenant quota to which they belong. This topic provides an overview of quota management in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. |
