Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for binding service credentials to an application. One example system receives a service bind request for an application in a cloud application platform. The service bind request includes a request to bind a service provided by a service host in the cloud application platform. The service bind request specifies (i) an identifier for the service and (ii) a unique identifier for the application. The system receives, from the service host, credentials for the application to access the service. The system provides the credentials to a secure credential hub installed on the cloud application platform. The secure credential hub stores the credentials in association with a credential location identifier. The system grants, to the unique identifier for the application, read access to the credential location identifier. The system stores the credential location identifier as application metadata for the application.

Secure binding workflow

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating recipes having platform-independent, resource-agnostic commands for performing work in a cloud computing platform. One of the systems includes a plurality of execution engines, each execution engine being installed on a particular instance of an underlying computing platform, wherein each execution engine is operable to receive, through an execution engine API by a first execution engine of the plurality of execution engines installed on a first instance of a particular underlying computing platform, a plurality of platform-independent, resource-specific requests from an executor to operate on a resources in an underlying computing platform and in response, perform one or more platform-independent, resource instance-specific operations to operate on a first resource on the first instance of the particular underlying computing platform.
