WLC controls LWAP-imaged WAP.

WCS "controls" the WLC.

WCS can do more than just controlling WLC. They can do this fancy "reporting".

If you are new to WLC/WCS then I'd recommend you look at Cisco Prime Network Control System. It comes in two "flavours": appliance or VMware.

My question is

Can we provision the Access Points from WCS? What is the steps?

Thanks

Define "provision". You mean make changes or modifications? If this is so, then YES but through the WCS which controls the WLC.

What kind of access points? Autonomous or LWAP/CAPWAP?

I mean I have an autonomous access points, I want to add to the controller to make it CAPWAP and associate with the controller. This is brand new an access point. I don't mean to make a change or modifications.
