PROVIDING A SUBSCRIPTION FOR A SERVICE USING AN EXISTING SUBSCRIPTION

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for providing a user with access to a service using an existing service that has been provisioned by a cloud infrastructure system. A cloud infrastructure system may provide the user with a service by creating a clone subscription based on a subscription to an existing service provided by the cloud infrastructure system. The clone subscription may provide the user with access to a service based on the existing service. A cloud infrastructure system may implement techniques to enable services provisioned by the cloud infrastructure system to be reused anonymously by different users. Upon subscribing to a cloud system, services can be configured from an existing pool of pre-provisioned services. When a service is to be decommissioned, its resources are returned back to the pool for reuse thereby minimizing the time to provision new resources as well as maximizing resource usage.
