Deployment overview


BMC provides deployment artifacts like the Deployment Manager and the container images. You must download the Deployment Manager and the token to access container images from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) site. The container images are hosted on BMC Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), available at http://containers.bmc.com/. You can only access the containers for which you are licensed. Use the token in the container-token.bmc file that you downloaded from EPD to access the container images. 

As a system administrator, use the deployment artifacts to deploy BMC Helix Edge in your on-premises environment.
