[0025] An embodiment of the present invention may further provide accelerating cloud platform adoption by on-boarding services to different types of cloud platforms, across different regions. The Service Framework of an embodiment of the present invention may enable platforms to add services rapidly, making cloud platforms more usable and robust. [0026] The Open Service Broker (OSB) API may represent an API specification that may be used in projects such as Cloud Foundry and Service Catalog. An embodiment of the present invention may extend the OSB API to work in a multi-platform, multi-cloud environment. [0027] An embodiment of the present invention may discover services, provision instances agnostic of cloud platforms, promote services across region and environments. These services and functions may be integrated with various platform and service deployment mechanisms. Further, an embodiment of the present invention may support the ability to automatically configure network layer and handle security credentials to further enable application teams to automate steps in deployment that are often manually configured and typically error prone. An embodiment of the present invention also provides the ability to share service instance metadata across cloud platforms that further enables developer teams to build a higher degree of resiliency and automation into their deployments. [0028] The Service Framework of an embodiment of the present invention may define standards and set direction for cross cloud platform service consumption. With an embodiment of the present invention, enterprises may transition from using a single cloud platform towards using multiple cloud platforms. The Service Framework of an embodiment of the present invention may strategically help platforms, service providers and developers consume services across platforms in a secure manner, while reducing deployment and operational effort. The Service Framework of an embodiment of the present invention may provide a single unified
