Systems, methods and computer program products are described herein that can be used to help achieve a safe rollout of software in a production datacenter environment. In accordance with certain embodiments, cloud services requests from certain users of a cloud services system (e.g., users that are authorized to receive cloud services via computing devices running test versions of infrastructure software) are dynamically matched to clusters (groups of commonly-managed computing devices called nodes) that are capable of providing the requested services on nodes running test versions of infrastructure software. Within such clusters, the requested services are provided to the users on a subset of cluster nodes that run a test version of an infrastructure software component, while the remaining cluster nodes are not running the particular test version.

Partitioning and orchestrating infrastructure software deployments for safety and agility across diverse configurations and hardware types

A general provider of a core registration service provides registration services to a special service provider. In one implementation, a first party presents a user registration form to a second party on behalf of a third party The first party receives registration provisioning data from the third party, which is used by the first party to generate a custom registration form. Responsive to receiving a request from a second party to register for a specialized service provided by a third party, the first party communicates the custom registration form to second party.

Presenting customized consumer registration information on behalf of a third party

A provisioning service datacenter provides a key transfer from a web service datacenter over a first secure channel. In certain versions, the provisioning service datacenter transmits an email having a hashed link to a partner site in response to a key request provided by the partner site. Certain roles at the partner site can respond to the email, thereby returning the hashed link to the provisioning service datacenter. Thereupon, in certain versions, the request is forwarded to a web service datacenter, and a secure channel is provided over which a key can be forwarded to the provisioning service datacenter, and thereupon to the partner site. In certain versions, the key is used to establish a second secure channel.
