IBM Sterling Ideas
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
IBM is transforming its request for enhancement (RFE) process. The purpose of the transformation is to provide a more consistent experience for you to submit requests and to enable IBM product owners to respond to your requests more quickly. For more information click here.
Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you, 1. Post an idea 2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you 3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
I ask how to test and certify the CDU in a Microsoft Azure environment.

Hi Cris,
Perfect.
Thanks a lot for the help!
Yes that is correct. Our support team will handle this as if it were installed on a certified system. If they encounter an issue that appears to be tied to Azure's environment not functioning as a physical environment then they may need to request that you transition the issue over to Microsoft however.
Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback.
What I understood is that, it has not been officially tested, however, it should work normally, as if it were a virtual machine.
If I install Azure, do I still have support normally?
Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. We have certified C:D for UNIX v4.3 with Amazon AWS which means that it has been through a full QA cycle. We have not gone through the certification process with Azure however so it is not officially certified. We do support C:D running on non-certified cloud service providers platforms under our general virtualization technology support statement which assumes that the virtualization technology functions as if it were a physical server.
Sincerely,
Chris Sanders
