Technologies for securely extending cloud service application programming interfaces (APIs) in a cloud service marketplace include a connector hub of a marketplace computing device communicatively coupled to a cloud service provider interface of a cloud service provider and a cloud service broker interface of a cloud service broker. The connector hub is configured to deploy an API connector instance in a connection factory of the marketplace computing device, transmit provider provisioning channel credentials to the API connector instance and the cloud service provider interface and transmit broker provisioning channel credentials to the API connector instance and the cloud service broker interface. The connector hub is additionally configured establish a provisioning channel between the cloud service provider interface and the cloud service broker interface. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Technologies for securely extending cloud service APIs in a cloud service marketplace

A method for integrating cloud applications into a cloud service broker (CSB) platform using an automated, universal connector, the method includes receiving at a connector hub, a connector package for a software from an independent software vendor device, creating a connector instance for the connector package for integration with the CSB platform, the CSB platform further configured to provide licenses for the software, receiving at the cloud service broker computing device via a CSB platform interface, a subscription request for the software, the subscription request comprising an activity selected from a group consisting of a creation, change and deletion, transmitting to a universal connector device by a CSB platform controller, the subscription request, processing, at the universal connector device, the subscription request, notifying a customer relationship management (CRM) device, by the universal connector device, of the subscription request, storing the subscription request in a CRM database, obtaining approval by the universal connector device, for the subscription request, processing, at the universal connector device, the subscription request, upon receiving a request approval, and transmitting a subscription approval result to the CSB platform, the CSB platform displaying subscription approval result to a subscribe.
