VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager (CPLCM) is a must-have tool for Cloud Providers who have large estates and need to optimize their operations for Day 0 deployment, upgrades, configuration, and management of Cloud Director, Usage Meter, vRealize Operations Tenant App, and RabbitMQ.
Building upon VMware Validated Designs (soon to be rebranded to VMware Validated solutions) CPLCM delivers deployment, upgrades, patching, and management in an automated manner, whilst allowing providers to use VMware Lifecycle Manager to manage the core SDDC components vSphere, NSX and vSAN.
New in 1.3 is a user interface for management, where previously it was all API and CLI based and now a stateful solution CPLCM remembers and stores all your configurations, making it even faster to achieve operational excellence. Of course, CPLCM manages your infrastructure in line with the VMware Validated Designs for Cloud Providers ensuring interoperability and simplicity are maintained and managed in an efficient manner.
