Abstract: Methods and systems may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A provisioning application data store may contain information associated with services representing a plurality of multi-tenant cloud applications including, for a first SaaS application, indications that a first tenant qualifies for early software updates and has opted to receive early software updates. A cloud platform provisioning framework may determine that a new software update to the first application is available and is scheduled to be installed within a pre-determined time period (e.g., one day or week). The framework may then access the provisioning application data store to verify that the first tenant qualifies for early software updates and has opted to receive early software updates. As a result of the verification, the cloud platform provisioning framework may automatically install the new software update to the first application for the first tenant prior to the scheduled installation.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A unified provisioning service may include a plan configuration data store that contains information associated with a combined service representing a plurality of multi-tenant cloud applications. A cloud platform provisioning framework may receive an indication of a subscription request for the combined service from a consumer via a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) marketplace and access, responsive to the received indication, a dependent service framework of the unified provisioning service. The cloud platform provisioning framework may then receive dependency subscription data from the unified provisioning service, and, based on the dependency subscription data, arrange for the consumer to be subscribed to each of the plurality of multi-tenant cloud applications.
