    Note

    If you have VMware vSphere Platform integrated with BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management, and you plan to migrate to VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA), contact BMC Support to obtain the latest information on supported migration paths.

    Switching from a Windows-based vCenter to a vCenter Server Appliance alters certain internal identifiers that disrupt the ability BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to manage existing workloads and provision new workloads on that vCenter instance.

• Supported third-party cloud platforms:
  • Amazon Web Services (EC2, VPC)
    

    BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management uses the Amazon SOAP API WSDL file with namespace http://ec2.amazonaws.com/doc/2011-02-28.

    You can download the WSDL file from Amazon.

    Note

    The SOAP API has been deprecated by AWS. If you require AWS integration in your environment, consider upgrading to BMC Cloud Lifecycle Managment version 4.0.
