Abstract

Provisioning, managing and tracking of services provided by a cloud infrastructure system are described. A subscription order request from a customer for services provided by the cloud infrastructure system is received. A workflow is defined that includes steps to process the subscription order. The workflow enables a customer to gain access to services requested in a subscription order upon placing the subscription order without the customer having to wait until all the steps involved in processing the subscription order are complete.
