Pa Pay-for or Use Option ons: Where do o they y go o in the Marketplace? 1. Under service category, each service is differentiated according to the access mode: for free or for pay – e.g. “General purpose instance” and “General purpose instance for pay” • Single entry under EGI, thus acting as a sort of broker • And/or individual provider offers listed separate, but aggregated on the service level, direct contracts between customers and providers 2. Adding the pay-for-use attributes directly in the service options (product in the marketplace) – Flag “for pay” to be added in the service options – EGI acts as an initial broker 3. Add an additional category related to the pay-for-use providers – Under this category all the providers will be listed – Under each provider, all its products will be listed P4U in EGI Marketplace – EGI Conf 2017 5/ 5/10/ 10/17 17 16 16 Catania – 10 May 2017
