System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012

Services in VMM 2012

Starting point for services and source of truthSpecifies machine and connectivity requirementsDeployed services are always linked to their templatesEnables servicing of the instances

Template

Groups of machines that work togetherIncludes machine definitions as well as applicationsNative application types:

Web Applications (WebDeploy)Virtual Applications (Server App-V Package)Database Applications (SQL DAC)

Instance

Why use Services?

Manage multi-tier applications across multiple servers as a single unit

Scale out based on demand

Composibility of OS and Applications, allows users to manage fewer OS images

Create Service Template

Template is a starting pointAuthor the template in the new Service Designer

Defines machines and their connectivityTiers, Hardware, Logical Networks, OS, Apps, Load Balancer templates etc.

Deployed services are always linked to their templates

Typically information like hosts or load balancers is not available while creating template
