Deploying the cloud environment using the IBM Cloud Manager - Deployer user interface

Use a new graphical user interface to simplify the process of deploying your private clouds.

A new browser-based graphical user interface, IBM® Cloud Manager - Deployer, guides you through the process of deploying your private clouds. After your cloud is deployed, you can easily add or remove compute node resources.

You can use the IBM Cloud Manager - Deployer user interface to deploy the following topologies:

  • IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack minimal, controller +n compute, and HA controller +n compute topologies
  • IBM Cloud OpenStack Services hybrid topologies

After you deploy the cloud, you can use the IBM Cloud Manager - Deployer for the following tasks:

  • Check status on deployed clouds.
  • Monitor progress of clouds that are being deployed.
  • Grow and shrink the cloud by adding and removing compute nodes.
