The other issue you raise, is that of units of measure. Units of measure vary today depending on where the customer sees value. This needs to be also managed in the cloud catalog/order/subcription manager trinity.

It's somewhat odd that you can do self-provisioning vi an API but the API doesn't provide all the info you need to make the best provisioning decisions. Like, who knew that the new US-West region is priced the same as the EU region?

However, you can buy a cheap option limited at 100 RPS, which is nice I still wonder what happens to the 101th request, can they really track this on a rolling second basis? :-) William,
