You may remember Lifecycle Manager as the little tool that combats the “sprawl”. The “sprawl” is what happens when your users find out that you can deploy a new machine in minutes. That’s when the requests increase dramatically. Lifecycle Manager (LCM) organizes the requesting process into a very organized workflow. It also allows you to track inventory of your current VMs to know who the application owner is and how long they need it for. Here’s the What’s New from the release notes: VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager (LCM) 1.0.2 release enhances the performance, robustness, and scalability of LCM and resolves a number of known issues. The LCM 1.0.2 release runs on an updated version of VMware vCenter Orchestrator 4.0. To run LCM 1.0.2, you must install the version of Orchestrator (4.0.0 Build 4439) that accompanies the LCM 1.0.2 download. See the vCenter Lifecycle Manager 1.0.2 Administration Guide for installation instructions.
You can find LCM in the download section here.
