Hi Impasan,

Cloudguard controller and CME are 2 different products

CloudGuard controller- a mechanism to collect information from a datacenter (Azure account, AWS account, vCenter environment etc.) to be represented as a single datacenter object in SmartConsole. This is to avoid any addition/removal of instances/IPs from SmartConsole every time you have a change in your cloud environment.

CME- An Extension to your management server in order to manage autoscaling solutions. This mechanism knows to scan for a new instance add it to SmartConsole and push the relevant policy to the new instance. These instances will appear as a single object in SmartConsole.

Hope this was clear enough.
