Tasks to configure BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management and enable service requests in the cloud
The primary goal of BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management is to enable users to request services from the cloud and have them provisioned without administrator intervention.
The following tasks are required to set up BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management and to enable users to request services within the cloud using the BMC My Cloud Services Console:
- Configure the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator Console, as described in Setting-Configuration-workspace-options.
- Set up and onboard resources for use in the cloud, as described in Managing-resources.
- Set up companies and add tenants, as described in Managing-tenants.
- Create services that can be requested by cloud end users from the BMC My Cloud Services Console, as described in Creating-requestable-services.
Other administrator tasks
- View and customize the at-a-glance dashboard views that display valuable cloud-related metrics, as described in Accessing-dashboard-chart-view-options.
- Create policies that automatically determine which resources should be used to create a service instance, as described in Creating-and-managing-policies.
- Test (or request your own) requestable services, as described in Viewing-and-working-with-service-instances.
