About OUTSCALE Marketplace
OUTSCALE Marketplace is a catalog of business solutions ready to be deployed on the OUTSCALE’s sovereign and secure Cloud. These solutions are provided by seller partners of 3DS OUTSCALE, as OUTSCALE machine images (OMIs) or outsourced products.
As a seller partner, you can create your product, publish it on the catalog, and view your sales (for OMI products) from the Marketplace interface.
As a buyer, you can consult the catalog, explore business solutions and their pricing, subscribe to them and deploy them.

Showcase and Products Creation
As a seller partner, you can create the showcase of your company to describe your activity, and create and publish products in the Marketplace catalog.
You can either create OMI (OUTSCALE machine image) products, or outsourced products. For more information, see the [Product Types] tab.
When creating an OMI product, you can select among the following pricing modes:
-
Per VM type (hourly and yearly offer): You configure one or more VM types, and you associate with each type an hourly rate and a yearly rate.
-
Subscription: You define a resale price for your subscription, based on a commitment duration and a billing frequency, and allocate a license key after each subscription for your users to activate their product.
-
BYOL (bring your own license): You only configure recommended VMs to use with your product. No rate applies.
For more information, see Creating and Publishing an OMI Product.
Product Management
As a seller partner, you can publish, modify, and unpublish OMI product versions depending on your product’s life cycle. For more information, see Managing OMI Product Versions. You can also unpublish OMI products, that is all their versions at once. For more information, see Unpublishing a Product > Unpublishing an OMI Product.

Types of Products
OMIs
OMIs are templates for virtual machines (VMs) containing at least an Operating System (OS) and possibly software applications and configurations like block device mappings. For more information, see About OMIs and Creating an OMI.
When an OMI product is published on the Marketplace, a copy of the OMI is automatically created in order to be distributed by 3DS OUTSCALE.
|
By default, OMI products are published in the cloudgouv-eu-west-1 Region, and can also be published in the eu-west-2 Region at their creation. For more information, see Creating and Publishing an OMI Product > General Information.
Each OMI product is associated to a unique product code for consumption monitoring and billing purposes. Each VM created from an OMI has the same associated product code. For more information, see Creating VMs.
Mistral LLM Services
Mistral LLM services are offers combining a Mistral large language model (LLM), a VM and a flexible GPU (fGPU).
As a buyer, you can subscribe to these services from the catalog, then deploy them on an inference instance dedicated to a LLM, from the My Services page. For more information, see Subscribing To a Mistral LLM Service and Deploying it and Updating a Mistral LLM Service.
Outsourced Products
Outsourced products are Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions.
As a seller partner, you can create an outsourced product of the Marketplace in order to list it in the catalogue, while managing its billing outside of the Marketplace. You can also unpublish outsourced products from the Marketplace, and are responsible for informing subscribers and organization administrators of their depublication. For more information, see Unpublishing a Product > Unpublishing an Outsourced Product.
As a buyer, the subscription process takes place outside the Marketplace. For more information, see Subscribing To an Outsourced Product.

Administrators can also add OUTSCALE accounts to the organization to automatically share the permissions to the OMIs the organization subscribes to with these accounts. For more information, see Managing OUTSCALE Accounts as a Seller Partner and Managing OUTSCALE Accounts as a Buyer.
By default, the first administrator of an organization has both an administrator role and a user role, while secondary administrators only have an administrator role.
Users can perform all the actions allowed by the type or types of their organizations on the Marketplace, except managing users. For more information, see Buyer User or Seller Partner User.
