Customer

A vanilla subscription-manager is all that is necessary for customers to be placed into this regimen.

Cloud

We have a cloud-init configuration extension which uses cloud-metadata to automatically register an organisation (the cloud account number) and activation key (the marketplace/product id).

Claims

For large-scale auto-registrations, we obviously do not have the opportunity to set up the customer in advance. In addition, available customer data is limited from the cloud platform provider.

We have dedicated forms for owner and consumer claims.

In addition to identifying the account by claiming ownership; this is the first step in the enterprise support process. We are able to associate environments, service levels, and licensing pools to owners.

By claiming the consumer, a customer may then ensure it is correctly entitled within the above environment, service level, pool arrangement.
