Limited compute resource types with Katello+Foreman?

Support
1

So, I've got a clean install of Katello+Foreman and I've noticed that the
compute resource options are gone. "foreman-installer --help |grep compute"
shows nothing infact. When I go to compute resources in the web interface
all it lists is docker as a provider.

Is there a reason Katello/Foreman doesn't have compute resources like
vmware?

I was hoping to setup a Foreman w/Katello so we could manage a distro/repo
but if we cannot have a compute resource for vmware we're going to have to
go to just Foreman. Is there another method to get what we want that I am
just missing?

Hello,

install OS packages with support for individual resources, these are
"plugins". Once you install them and restart foreman, then they will
appear.

Blarg, I kept expecting it to show up in the foreman-installer like it does
with the normal foreman installer. Once I installed " yum install -y
foreman-vmware.noarch" I was able to select VMware in the compute resource
type.

Thanks for the direction!
