Creating an Oracle Linux 6.4 service offering

This topic describes the tasks that you must perform in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to create the service offering that the end user could then use to provision the application infrastructure (for example, an OS and an application package). It includes the following topics:

To create the service and the service offering

In BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator console, you must add a service and a service offering.
