Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product provides for zero configuration service registration in association with a network-accessible infrastructure that hosts services on behalf of an enterprise. A service is required to be registered with an authority before being online. The technique is implemented in a network-based automated bootstrap mechanism. In operation, and responsive to a determination that a new service instance is required to be brought online, a determination is made whether a peer service instance has an existing registration with the authority and is active. If so, and without requiring manual intervention, that existing registration is then leveraged on behalf of the new service instance to automatically register that instance with the authority. After automatically register the new service instance, that instance is then executed in the network-accessible infrastructure. Several automated bootstrap mechanisms are described. In one embodiment, the service instance is a connector to an enterprise application.
