Manage Keystone subscriptions

Contributors netapp-bcammett netapp-dbagwell netapp-rlithman

Manage your Keystone subscriptions from the BlueXP digital wallet by enabling subscriptions for use with Cloud Volumes ONTAP and by requesting changes to the committed capacity for your subscription's service levels. Requesting additional capacity for a service level provides more storage for on-premises ONTAP clusters or for Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems.

NetApp Keystone is a flexible pay-as-you-grow subscription-based service that delivers a hybrid cloud experience for customers who prefer OpEx to CapEx or leasing.
