Abstract: A system for provisioning applications using a Connectors Hub service is provided. At least one Service Automation module is connected to the single Connectors Hub service, which receives service APIs from a service cloud via an independent software vendor (ISV) connector. This architecture improves upon the conventional system, where a number of services are provisioned using multiple connectors located on each of the Service Automation modules. The Connectors Hub service includes a service module coupled to the statistics database. A service connector provides a service API from the ISV service cloud. This API can be directed to proxies within the Connectors Hub service, because the same service API can be used for the same service from different service providers. The proxies collect analytics data for each service provider and pass this data to the service module for generating bills for the providers based on service usage.

Abstract: Technologies for creating and distributing integration connectors in cloud service brokerage systems include a developer portal computing device communicatively coupled to a connector hub of a marketplace computing. The developer portal computing device is configured to receive information from a developer via a developer UI portal of a developer portal computing device. Such information includes connector descriptor information for a connector associated with a cloud service and one or more resource types of the connector. The developer portal computing device is further configured to build, via a connector builder of the developer portal computing device, the connector as a function of the connector descriptor information and the one or more resource types, generate a connector package for the built connector, and transmit the generated connector package to a connector hub of a cloud service marketplace computing device, wherein the connector package is usable to create one or more instances of the connector. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: An Application Packaging Standard (APS) is a specification defining application's life cycle in a cloud. The application's life cycle includes packaging, delivering to the cloud, verification of package, integrating (and unpacking) into the cloud, distributing to clients, licensing, functionality, updates and deletion. The APS has its own Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing the APS functions from a program code or by http/https requests. The APS provides for efficient integration of SaaS web applications into the cloud.
