Adding Amazon services from templates

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) can be used as service offerings in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management. An AMI is a type of pre-configured operating system along with virtual application software that can be used as a template to instantiate a virtual machine within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). In an EC2 environment, an AMI is the basic unit of service that you can deploy.

The Amazon Service Offerings page lists existing AMIs that can be used as service offerings.
