AWS instance types
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.6.04 and later supports new instance types that are available in Amazon AWS, as listed at https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/. (The table at the bottom of this topic lists the instance types that are supported by default with BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.5 through 4.6.03.)
This topic includes the following sections:
To add a new instance family for BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to support
Stop Platform Manager.
- Modify the AWSInstanceTypeMetaData.json file as shown in the following example code snippet.
Before saving the updated file, consider using a JSON validation tool to make sure that the file contains valid JSON code. Start Platform Manager.
If you use an incorrect format in the AWSInstanceTypeMetaData.json file, Platform Manager logs an error message in the csm.log file. Platform Manager will continue to use last known good configuration; recent changes do not take effect until the format is corrected.
