Had a call with our sales rep. about Helix last week. They barely could tell me 
anything more than what was in the marketing materials on the website. It’s 
docker (and another container vendor) containers of each of the different 
product lines. They currently only have one for ARS/ITSM for AWS ready to go. 
There are separate containers for SmartIT/DWP, Business Workflows, Innovation 
Suite, Discovery, etc for either AWS or Azuze but won’t start becoming 
available until later this year or next.  I’m guessing there will be separate 
containers for not only the cloud vendors but for each of the various supported 
OS/DB combinations. They have no technical  and support documentation available 
or my rep. didn’t know where it was and said they would find out and send when 
ready.   If you are an on premise customer like us, this is NOT free, and BMC 
will charge for the Helix platform. I’m waiting on a quote to see how much. 
This sounds promising but seems very incomplete and immature based on my 
initial conservation with sales.
