Abstract: An example method of managing hardware capacity in a multi-cloud computing system includes: obtaining, by a hardware inventory service executing in the multi-cloud computing system, hardware information for physical servers, in a public cloud, for which a customer has a subscription entitling bare-metal management of the physical servers; maintaining, by the hardware inventory service, an inventory of hardware capacity comprising a physical server pool that includes the physical servers; receiving, at the hardware inventory service, a request to consume the hardware capacity; and providing, by the hardware inventory service, a response to the request that identifies the physical server pool for deploying software to execute therein.
