umbrella framework for service providers to write a service once, and allow for applications from multiple platforms to consume the service, helping accelerate cloud platform consumption. [0029] With an embodiment of the present invention, service scoping and promotion mechanism has potential to define zero deployment service upgrades and region-specific service publishing, allowing SP to iterate faster, independent and agnostic of multiple platforms. [0030] Further, an embodiment of the present invention may be used to track service consumption across regions, platforms and environments, build billing and audit systems and to provide both an aggregate and a granular management and operational view for platforms, services and developers. [0031] An embodiment of the present invention may be extended to include various features including automated credential injections, advanced service scoping; observability of service instances; self-service on boarding; service catalogs for new platforms and billing. [0032] Figure 1 illustrates a system implementing a Service Framework, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 shows Service Framework (SF) 110, Service Provider (SP) 112 and Service Framework Core 114. [0033] Service Framework (SF) 110 may include Services Repository 120, Service Instance Repository 122 and Auth 124. Services Repository 120 may register services to Service Framework. Services Repository 120 may be platform independent as well as region and environment aware. For example, registration may follow a specific syntax, such as platform service creation syntax that may be represented as “sfcreate-service-broker - p {config}.” Services Repository may further support scoping constraints DSL such as (Platform, Region, Environment}. Service Instance Repository 122 may record global view of instances provisioned with Service Framework (SF). Service Instance Repository 122 may manage Cloud
