Create Fusion HCI virtual machines from the Cloud Satellite

Today you must first access Fusion HCI to create host for IBM Cloud Satellite, then go to IBM Cloud and create location and files/scripts, then return to Fusion to load the files to attach them to IBM Cloud Satellite and finally return to IBM Cloud to deploy services on hosts. A better option would be to enable an integration between Fusioon HCI and IBM Cloud, allowing admins to view free resources on Fusion HCI and allow to create IBM Cloud Satellite host on Fusion HCI from IBM Cloud console for Satellite. Integrations should be able to integrate with multiple IBM Clud accounts, allowing MSP’s to host multiple separate Cloud accounts and Satellite locations on single Fusion HCI. IBM Cloud should also support integration with multiple Fusion HCI.

This would reduce the manual steps for admins reducing cost and optimizing TCO for using Fusion HCI as host location for IBM Cloud Satellite.
