FULFILLMENT OF CLOUD SERVICE ORDERS

A fulfillment bridge orchestrates various types of fulfillment that fall generally into three categories of fulfillment: CSB platform based automated provisioning; external automated provisioning; and manual workflow provisioning. External automated provisioning is implemented through fulfillment agents. The fulfillment agents can implements self-registration for allowing the fulfillment bridge to understand the capabilities of the fulfillment agent. Examples of such capabilities include, but are not limited to, supported actions and input/output parameters. Adapters of the fulfillment bridge interface with the fulfillment agents and fulfillment scripts that are independently operated with respect to the CSB platform can be use to interface with the fulfillment adapters.
