The disclosed techniques improve the efficiency and functionality of cloud services by providing a system for sharing individual subscriptions among multiple tenants. A cloud service provider utilizes a location-based manager to retrieve a pool of subscriptions from a cloud platform. Individual subscriptions within the pool can define a set of cloud resources for a resource unit such as a server farm. The location-based manager can assign one or multiple subscriptions for a resource unit to share amongst multiple tenants. In this way, security boundaries between individual tenants can be maintained while also dramatically reducing the number of subscriptions a cloud service provider must manage. In addition, by assigning subscriptions at the granularity of resource units rather than tenants, the location-based manager can enhance the security of the cloud platform by creating a logical zone about individual resource units to serve as an additional security boundary.
