transparent, secured manner. In this example, users do not manipulate secrets. The entitlements may be stored and consume where they are required, as in the application run time. 

[0044] An embodiment of the present invention may provide advanced service scoping. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a service marketplace catalog may show services and/or plans meeting specific conditions. Conditions may include whether they are from a specific department, line of business, organization, etc. The service/plan may be available in a specific region, datacenter and/or other geographic location. The platform running the marketplace may be of a specific type and/or of a specific version. Service providers may fine tune their offering to meet the complex need of each consumer in their specific context ( e.g., organization, datacenter, cloud service preference, etc.). For example, a more secured and expensive version of a service may automatically replace a standard version of a service for customers from a team that manipulates sensitive data, e.g., credit card information. 

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention may provide improved observability, e.g, view of service health. An embodiment of the present invention may mandate service brokers and service instances to expose health and operational metrics endpoints. The marketplace may include each service/plans as well as their health across their deployments globally and/or within a certain location. For example, a user may challenge a decision to provision a service showing a history of health issues and further understand from the beginning why an application is not behaving as expected. An embodiment of the present invention may detect underlying services having issues. For example, improved observability provides a standardized way for a service provider to explore the health of their services.
