About This Guide

MMCloud OpCenter

Prerequisites

To install and run MMCloud, you need the following.

• Account with a CSP (such as AWS)
• License for OpCenter
• Job script: most, but not all, jobs require a job script that you provide (usually in the form of a shell script)
• Working knowledge of the basic services the CSP offers

Supported Clouds

MMCloud is designed to work on any cloud infrastructure. The current release supports AWS, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
