Using Quick Start
The Quick Start wizard-based UI simplifies configuration for BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. See the following sections for an introduction to Quick Start:
Purpose of Quick Start
Using Quick Start, you provide a limited number of configuration settings. All other configuration is automated, including configuration of underlying BMC products such as BMC Server Automation and BMC Network Automation.
When the Quick Start wizard is finished, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management is ready to fulfill end-user requests for automated provisioning of virtual machines (VMs). The BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console reflects the configuration settings made in Quick Start.
Quick Start is designed to address straightforward provisioning needs. If you require more complex configurations, you might need to use the full set of tools that BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management offers. Alternatively, you can perform some simple provisioning with Quick Start and then modify the configuration using the full capabilities of BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.
Using Quick Start, you can set up provisioning of VMs by using different infrastructure platforms. See the following topics:
