Abstract

A method includes provisioning, by a cloud provisioning server, a first instance based on a template. The template belongs to a tenant, and the first instance includes one of an instantiated software and an instantiated computing service. The method also includes determining a prefix. The determined prefix is shared by a second instance that is also provisioned based on the template of the tenant. The method also includes generating a name for the first provisioned instance. The generated name includes the determined prefix.
