Virtual Host Managers

Virtual Host Managers (VHMs) are used to gather information from a range of client types.

VHMs can be used to collect private or public cloud instances and organize them into virtualization groups. With your virtualized clients organized this way, Taskomatic collects data on the clients for display in the SUSE Manager Web UI. VHMs also allow you to use subscription matching on your virtualized clients.

You can create a VHM on your SUSE Manager Server, and use it to inventory available public cloud instances. You can also use a VHM to manage clusters created with Kubernetes.

For more information on using a VHM with Amazon Web Services, see Virtual Host Manager and Amazon Web Services.
For more information on using a VHM with Microsoft Azure, see Virtual Host Manager and Azure.
For more information on using a VHM with Google Compute Engine, see Virtual Host Manager and Google Compute Engine.
For more information on using a VHM with Nutanix, see Virtualization with Nutanix.
For more information on using a VHM with VMWare vSphere, see Virtualization with VMWare.
For more information on using a VHM with other hosts, see Virtualization with Other Third Party Providers.

You must have a virtualization add-on subscription for each host with the Virtualization Server entitlement in SUSE Manager.
