1. A method for streamlined secure deployment in a cloud computing system configured to execute a deployment service, the method comprising:
receiving an instruction to deploy an application in the cloud computing system;
retrieving, based on the instruction, a manifest for the application, the manifest identifying a plurality of components of the application and an installation sequence for the plurality of components;
creating, by the deployment service and based on the manifest, a deployment subscription for the application in the cloud computing system, wherein:
the deployment subscription is created automatically without interaction with an administrator of the cloud computing system or a user of the cloud computing system; and
the deployment subscription is hidden from the administrator of the cloud computing system and the user of the cloud computing system; and
instantiating, based at least in part on the deployment subscription, a resource in the cloud computing system for executing the application.
