Table I.5 – A use case for registration of cloud services at CSP side
Title A use case for registration and deregistration of cloud services at CSP side.

Description A CSP accesses a login page in the CSB workspace using previously registered IDs and
passwords.
The CSP registers access information of the cloud services that will be listed in the product
catalogue. The access information of the cloud services would be connection ID, connection
password, endpoint URL and location.
Then, the CSP defines the unit of cloud service by enrolling the information of its cloud services.
The unit of cloud service encompasses its name, specification of virtual machine, images
including a particular OS, agent software and related applications. The CSP can defines various
types of unit of cloud services in the workspace. For example, the specification of virtual
machine can varies depending on the number of virtual central processing unit (CPU), size of
random access memory and size of storage. The images also can be diverse in accordance with
OS types, OS version and presence of specific applications. On each constructed unit of cloud
services, the CSP registers the billing information and SLA. After registering cloud services, the
CSP asks a CSN: cloud service broker to add the cloud services into product catalogues in the
workspace in the CSC side. The CSN: cloud service broker validates each SLA and security
aspects of the cloud services and, if there is no problem, performs the confirmation of the
registration.
