1. A method comprising:
maintaining, at a system comprising a hardware processor, a service blueprint that includes a set of one or more recipes to automate lifecycle actions for a user-selectable cloud capability associated with the service blueprint, wherein the set of one or more recipes, when executed, orchestrate an application programming interface of a cloud resource to perform the lifecycle actions;
receiving, at the system, a selection from a user of the user-selectable cloud capability;
receiving, at the system and from the user, a modification of the user-selectable cloud capability to add a metering service for metering of central processing unit (CPU) usage, memory usage, or traffic usage associated with the user-selectable cloud capability;
updating, by the system and in response to the modification received from the user, the service blueprint to further include a structured plan for the metering; and
in response to receiving the selection, executing, at the system, the set of one or more recipes of the service blueprint to orchestrate the application programming interface of the cloud resource to perform the lifecycle actions that manage a lifecycle of the user-selectable cloud capability, wherein the lifecycle actions include executing the metering service.
