ManageIQ

What ManageIQ is

ManageIQ is free, open-source software for managing connected cloud and infrastructure resources. It discovers inventory across virtualization, containers, networks, and storage, maps relationships, and tracks changes. Its service catalog lets users request resource bundles and manage their lifecycle through policy, compliance, delegated operations, chargeback or showback, and retirement. ManageIQ also scans virtual machines, hosts, and containers without agents, including foreign or uncooperative VMs. For optimization, it captures utilization metrics and supports finding unused systems, right-sizing recommendations, capacity planning, and what-if scenarios. The agentless project is distributed as a virtual appliance for standalone or federated deployment; it can also run as a Docker monolithic container or be podified on Kubernetes and OpenShift. A REST API uses HTTP requests and responses with JSON. Listed providers include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Red Hat, and VMware, but supported operations vary by provider. Docker and Vagrant downloads are intended for proof-of-concept and non-production use.
