7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

detecting, by the cloud service system, the occurrence of the triggering event by receiving a request from the client device for exposure to an application programming interface (API) of a particular service of the cloud service application.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

detecting, by the cloud service system, the occurrence of the triggering event by detecting that the cloud service application has been updated to provide a different set of the one or more services.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing exposure to the APIs of at least one of the one or more services comprises:

determining, by the cloud service system based on the plurality of linkages and the hardware profile of the cloud service system, that the cloud service system has the hardware capability to provide access to a first set of the one or more services of the cloud service application;

determining, by the cloud service system based on the plurality of linkages and the hardware profile of the cloud service system, that the cloud service system lacks the hardware capability to provide access to a second set of the one or more services of the cloud service application; and

providing, by the cloud service system to the client device, access to APIs of the first set of the one or more services of the cloud service system without providing access to APIs of the second set of the one or more services of the cloud service application.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein maintaining the plurality of linkages in the data storage comprises:

detecting, by the cloud service system, that the cloud service application has been updated to provide a different set of the one or more services; and

updating, by the cloud service system, the plurality of linkages using one or more linkages corresponding to the different set of the one or more services.

11. A cloud service system comprising:

a data storage; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the data storage, to:

execute a cloud service application to provide one or more services;

maintain, in the data storage, a plurality of linkages between a plurality of service identifiers corresponding to the one or more services of the cloud service application and a plurality of hardware identifiers, each respective service identifier is associated with one or more hardware identifiers of the plurality of hardware identifiers;

determine, based on the plurality of linkages and a hardware profile of the cloud service system, whether the cloud service system has a hardware capability to provide access to the one or more services of the cloud service application;
