{: #mig_standalone}
Migrating your stand-alone parts to a Cloud Pak for Data subscription gives you more flexibility to choose which offerings you want to consume, and how much you want to consume.
{: shortdesc}
A subscription allows you to buy credits that you can use as quickly or slowly as you want to, based on your changing needs. If you want to provision a new instance or scale up storage or compute for an existing instance, you can initiate the request within minutes, without the need for a charge agreement to be created or amended. A subscription also provides you with the opportunity to explore a larger portfolio of offerings.
