New Centralized Service Catalog for the new hybrid multicloud world

CP4MCM brings customers a centralized management plane while driving hybrid multicloud env.

For now, there are multiple service engines available in CP4MCM: CAM, CloudForms, OCP embedded service catalog. There is a huge opportunity to aggregate all these and some other potential technologies to build a Centralized Service Catalog which can:

  • Encourage service providers to "plug in" services;

  • Have a simplified yet unified service provisioning process and mechanism, in a self-service manner;

  • Host a long list of services, for Kubernetes or VM or both;

  • Use a "scope" concept to indicate where the service is applicable to;

  • Use "tag"s to organize the services

  • etc.
