Cloud Management Platform (CMP) connects to the virtualization platforms and public clouds you already use, bringing provisioning, automation, cost, and governance into a single interface. Developers order resources on demand from [blueprints](/docs/cmp/use/blueprints/), and administrators set the quotas, approvals, and guardrails around them.

- **New to CMP?** Begin with [Get started](/docs/cmp/get-started/) to install your instance.
- **Upgrading?** See [Upgrade Cloud Management Platform](/docs/cmp/configure/administration/maintain/upgrade/) and the [release notes](/docs/cmp/about/releases/).
- **Automating CMP?** See the [REST API](/docs/cmp/developer-resources/rest-api/) and [Developer resources](/docs/cmp/developer-resources/).
