[a] As the pace of change in public cloud features is high, constantly changing and evolving, the compatibility for Infrastructure Management is as of the time of the GA of the product. Best effort basis during errata cycle for public cloud vendor introduced breaking changes (intended or unintended) to existing functionality. Any other changes or additions would be considered as a Request For Enhancement (RFE) which is evaluated for potential inclusion in future releases. RFE can be requested by way of your standard support mechanisms.

Chapter 4. Supported Providers
Provider support is divided into tiers:
- Tier 1: These providers are developed, tested, maintained, and supported by IBM. IBM accepts support and enhancement requests.
- Tier 2: These providers are delivered by an IBM partner, or by various sources into the ManageIQ open source community. IBM packages and ships these providers and accepts support cases. All support and enhancement updates need to come from the open source community.

Chapter 6. Feature Support
Infrastructure Management allows you to perform actions on the providers that it manages, and provides features for interacting with and providing information about those providers. This section outlines the status of support for actions that you can perform on providers, and the Infrastructure Management features that allow you to interact with those providers.
Note: You can run a rake command to retrieve a list of provider features supported across all platforms. Run the following command in your Infrastructure Management appliance to retrieve the supported features in a comma-separated values (.csv) file format. The comma-separated values are displayed on the command-line interface (CLI) by default. You can use a pipe to redirect the output to a file.
