1. A method executed by at least one processor, comprising:
- as part of a discovery phase, receiving information of a service instance provisioned or modified by a first system distinct from a management system, wherein the provisioning or modification of the service instance by the first system is initially unknown to the management system;
as part of a binding phase, inferring a model representing the service instance, andmanaging, by the management system, a lifecycle of the service instance using the model.

Abstract
In some examples, information of a service instance provisioned or modified by a first system distinct from a management system is received, where the provisioning or modification of the service instance by the first system is initially unknown to the management system. As part of a binding phase, a model of the service instance is inferred. The management system manages a lifecycle of the service instance using the model and the policy.

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a system to:
-
receive information of a first service instance provisioned or modified by a provider system distinct from a management system, wherein the provisioning or modification of the service instance by the provider system is initially unknown to the management system; as part of a binding phase, infer a model representing service components of the service instance, and associate a lifecycle action with an element or a group of elements of the model; and use the management system to manage a lifecycle of the service instance using the model and the lifecycle action. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the processor to; as part of a discovery phase, receive information of a service instance provisioned or modified by a first system distinct from a cloud controller, wherein the provisioning or modification of the service instance by the first system is initially unknown to the management system; as part of a binding phase, infer a model of the service instance, associate a policy with an element or group of elements of the model, and associate a lifecycle action with an element or a group of elements of the model; and use the cloud controller to manage a lifecycle of the service instance using the model, the policy, and the lifecycle action. - View Dependent Claims (21)
