Manage system suites

System suites are groups of applications that are available for use with your project templates. Project administrators can view and delete custom system suites. They are created when an instance is cloned (or captured).

The System suites page lists the currently defined system suites. See Capture an instance for details on creating custom system suites.

The Support lifecycle column shows the status the system suite's support lifecycle. For details, see Identify system suites support status.

The End of support date is when support ends for the software suite or system suite, after which you can no longer create objects such as new instances or templates with the software suite or system suite.

The Deletion date is when the software suite or system suite will be deleted, along with all virtual machines, templates, and custom suites that only use this software suite or system suite.

The Expand button lets users see all the software suites under each system suite.

The symbol in the In use column means that a project template is using this system suite. To delete a system suite, first delete the project template that uses it.
