What is vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager?

vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager automates install, configuration, upgrade, patch, configuration management, drift remediation and health from within a single pane of glass, thereby freeing IT Managers/Cloud admin resources to focus on business-critical initiatives, while improving time to value (TTV), reliability and consistency. Automates Day 0 to Day 2 operations of the entire vRealize Suite, enabling simplified operational experience for customers.

Your Content, anytime, anywhere.

By bringing DevOps principles to the management of vRealize Suite content, Content Management in LCM is an extensible, customizable framework that provides a set of release management processes for software-defined content with the ability to capture, version control, test, release and rollback. This Content Management makes it possible to dispense with the time-consuming and error-prone manual processes currently required to manage software-defined content. Supported content includes entities from vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestration, vSphere 6.x, and now with LCM 2.0 we support vRealize Operations content. All of this content can be sourced controlled by Gitlab.

The best part is that vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is FREE for all vRealize suite customers!
