Abstract
A method and system for securely provisioning a host, the method including determining, by a provisioning system, a physical path from the host in a cloud to the provisioning system, wherein the physical path includes static mapping for a device between the host and the provisioning system. The provisioning system receives a request to provision a virtual machine on a guest host in a cloud, and sends installation information for the virtual machine via the determined physical path.
Claims20
A method comprising;
- determining, by a provisioning system, a physical path from a host in a cloud to the provisioning system, wherein the physical path comprises static mapping for a device between the host and the provisioning system;
- receiving, by the provisioning system, a request to provision a virtual machine on the host;
- and
- sending, by the provisioning system, installation information for the virtual machine via the determined physical path.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory to:
- determine a physical path from a host in a cloud to a provisioning system, wherein the physical path comprises static mapping for a device between the host and the provisioning system;
- receive a request to provision a virtual machine on the host;
- and
- send installation information for the virtual machine via the determined physical path.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a set of operations comprising:
- determining, by the computer system, a physical path from a host in a cloud to a provisioning system, wherein the physical path comprises static mapping for a device between the host and the provisioning system;
- receiving, by the computer system, a request to provision a virtual machine on the host;
- and
- sending, by the computer system, installation information for the virtual machine via the determined physical path.
