# Day 2 operations using Workflow Studio subflow

# Day 2 operations using Workflow Studio subflow {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated July 31, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Take advantage of the flow
designer to automate your Day 2 operations. Quickly write a
subflow that communicates with a Cloud API or a particular
resource.

Day 1 operations provision resources in a cloud as part of ordering from the ServiceNow catalog or the cloud catalog. These operations result
in a stack that contains a list of provisioned resources. Day 2 operations can be carried
out on the resources that are part of the stack or the resources discovered by the
system.

Previously, to execute Day 2 operations in Cloud Provisioning and Governance, you
had to interact directly with the Cloud API (CAPI). This frequently meant that you had to
write new APIs to support a new operation. You can now use subflows to map Day 2 operations
and create REST endpoints that call cloud providers and trigger platform-specific
actions.
