1. A method, comprising: obtaining, by a deployer application that executes on one or more processors of a network, a specification for a target cloud environment that is a set of cooperating processors, storage libraries, and software systems that form a logical computing infrastructure; configuring, by the deployer application, a package that includes a service image for a service based on the specification for the target cloud environment, wherein configuring further includes providing instructions within the package for generating keys and certificates for security processing by the service once initiated within the target cloud environment; providing, by the deployer application, the package to the target cloud environment for instantiation of the service on the target cloud environment; and interacting, by the deployer application, with the service when deployed from the service image within the target cloud environment, and wherein interacting further includes authenticating, by the deployer application, the service and the target cloud environment during initial interactions with the service before the service is permitted to operate within the target cloud environment based on credentials generated by a portion of the service image once deployed in the target cloud environment.
