We are pleased to announce that the Flexera CMP Self Service  module now supports the use of Governance Credentials for provisioning cloud resources using the Self Service Plugins .    This update allows the developer to create a Cloud Application Template (CAT) to use the Self Service Plugins with native credentials and connect cloud applications to any public-facing API.   This feature is available today to all Flexera CMP customers.
