Provisioning Platforms

Provisioning Platforms

ICM can provision virtual host nodes and associated resources on the following platforms:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

  • Microsoft Azure (Azure)

  • Tencent Cloud (Tencent)

  • VMware vSphere (vSphere)

    Note:

    To address the needs of the many users who rely on VMware vSphere, it is supported by this release of ICM. Depending on your particular vSphere configuration and underlying hardware platform, the use of ICM to provision virtual machines may entail additional extensions and adjustments not covered in this guide, especially for larger and more complex deployments, and may not be suitable for production use. Full support is expected in a later release.

On AWS, GCP, Azure, and Tencent, ICM can provision and deploy a single configuration across multiple zones within a region, across multiple regions, or even across cloud provider platforms.

Before using ICM with one of these platforms, you should be generally familiar with the platform. You will also need account credentials; see Obtain Security Credentials for more information.

ICM can also configure existing virtual or physical clusters (provider PreExisting) as needed and deploy containers on them, just as with the nodes it provisions itself.
