Method and arrangement for enabling service delivery in a telecommunications network
First Claim
1. A method in a service enabler for enabling delivery of an IT-service to a client, wherein execution of the IT-service comprises resources in a cloud architecture, the method comprising:
- registering a plurality of predefined cloud computing services and their respective requirements for resources in the cloud architecture;
provisioning service subscriptions and associated subscription identities for the predefined cloud computing services, said service subscriptions and subscription identities being valid in a telecommunications network;
assigning one of said service subscriptions and associated subscription identity to an identity module, for enabling delivery of said IT-service to the client by providing an associated predefined cloud computing service responsive to the client using said identity module;
monitoring activity of the assigned service subscription in said telecommunications network based on the associated subscription identity; and
allocating resources in the cloud architecture according to the assigned service subscription, responsive to detecting that the assigned service subscription is activated or has been activated,wherein the identity module is installed in a mobile broadband router or a fixed wireless terminal associated with a set of clients, thereby allowing said set of clients to utilise the provided cloud computing service.

Abstract
A method and arrangement for enabling delivery of an IT-service to a client, wherein execution of the IT-service requires resources in a cloud architecture. First, a plurality of predefined cloud computing services and respective requirements for resources, are registered. Then, service subscriptions and associated subscription identities, valid in a telecommunications network, are provisioned for the predefined cloud computing services. One of the service subscriptions and associated subscription identity is assigned to an identity module, for enabling delivery of the IT-service to the client by providing an associated predefined cloud computing service when the client uses the identity module. Then, activity of the assigned service subscription is monitored in the network based on the associated subscription identity, and resources are allocated in the cloud architecture according to the assigned service subscription, when it is detected that the assigned service subscription is activated or has been activated.

11. An arrangement in a service enabler configured to enable delivery of an IT-service to a client, wherein execution of the IT-service requires resources in a cloud architecture, the arrangement in the service enabler comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and comprising computer readable program code that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising; registering a plurality of predefined cloud computing services and their respective requirements for resources in the cloud architecture; provisioning service subscriptions and associated subscription identities for the predefined cloud computing services, said service subscriptions and subscription identities being valid in a telecommunications network, and to assign one of said service subscriptions and associated subscription identity to an identity module for enabling delivery of said IT-service to the client by providing an associated predefined cloud computing service responsive to the client using said identity module; and monitoring activity of the assigned service subscription in said telecommunications network based on the associated subscription identity, allocating resources in the cloud architecture according to the assigned service subscription responsive to detecting that the assigned service subscription is activated or has been activated, wherein the identity module is installed in a mobile broadband router or a fixed wireless terminal associated with a set of clients, thereby allowing said set of clients to utilise the provided cloud computing service. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
