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.
Seller partners can configure an hourly, a free/open source, a bring your own license (BYOL), or a subscription offer for their OMI products.
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.
Seller partners can publish, modify, and unpublish OMI product versions. For more information, see Managing OMI Product Versions. Seller partners can also unpublish OMI products, that is all their versions at once. For more information, see Unpublishing a Product > Unpublishing an OMI Product. In all cases, subscribers, and organization administrators are automatically informed by email.
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.
For more information, see Subscribing To an OMI Product and Creating and Publishing an OMI Product.
Outsourced Products

Mistral LLM Services
Mistral LLM services are offers combining a Mistral large language model (LLM), a VM and a flexible GPU (fGPU), which you can subscribe to from the catalog. You can then deploy these services 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.
Organization
An organization is an entity associated to an OUTSCALE account and a Region. Each organization has a first administrator, who creates the organization, and may have secondary administrators.
|
To create an organization as first administrator on the Marketplace, you must have an OUTSCALE account. For more information, see About Your Account. |
The type of an organization can be buyer, seller partner, or both. The administrators and users of a same partner seller organization manage the same showcase and products, and the administrators and users of a same buyer organization manage the same product subscriptions.
3DS OUTSCALE can define an organization as belonging to the Nuage public market of the Union des groupements d’achats publics (UGAP). A seller partner organization can create subscription offers for OMI products, and buyer organizations can subscribe to these offers. For more information, see UGAP’s official website (French only), Creating a Nuage public Offer (UGAP), and Subscribing To a Nuage public Offer (UGAP).
Buyers and Seller Partners
The type of your organization can be buyer, seller partner, or both.
As a buyer, you can browse and filter the product catalog, view seller partner showcases and products, estimate the price of product subscriptions, see seller partner resources, subscribe to products, and view your subscriptions. For more information, see Buyer.
|
You do not need a Marketplace account to browse the product catalog, but an account is required to subscribe to products. |
As a seller partner, you can create the showcase of your company to describe your activity, and create and publish products in the product catalog. For more information, see Seller Partner.
Administrators and Users
Two kinds of accounts can log in to the Marketplace: administrators and users, each having different roles through permissions. A same account can be both administrator and user.
Administrators can manage Marketplace accounts, that is create and delete them, and modify their information and roles. For more information, see Managing Marketplace Accounts as a Seller Partner and Managing Marketplace Accounts as a Buyer.

Each account created on the Marketplace implies the creation of an Elastic Identity Management (EIM) user on the OUTSCALE Cloud. The created EIM users belong to a group with a policy attached. These EIM resources, marked by a For more information, see Elastic Identity Management (EIM). |
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.

Organization Creation and Login
You can create an organization as first administrator via the login page of the Marketplace.

Once your password is defined, you can log in to the Marketplace from the login page. Your organization must be validated for you to be able to fully use the Marketplace. For more information, see Creating an Organization as a Buyer and Creating an Organization as a Seller Partner.
As a user or secondary administrator, you can log in to the Marketplace once your first administrator has created your account on the Marketplace and you have defined a password for your account via the received email.

Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication
You can increase the security of your account by using two-factor authentication (2FA) on the Marketplace. This feature adds an extra step of authentication to the basic login procedure by requiring a one-time password (OTP) from an OTP application on your smartphone or other device. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling Two-Factor Authentication for OUTSCALE Marketplace.
