Abstract

A system includes a processor executing instructions from a computer-readable storage medium. The instructions include, in response to receiving a job request that identifies a first tenant, obtaining a first virtual network key (VNK) corresponding to the first tenant. The instructions include identifying a first computing system that has resources available to satisfy the job request. The instructions include transmitting a first command to the first computing system. The first command includes the first VNK, instructs the first computing system to assign a virtual machine to the job request, and associates the first VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The instructions include, in response to completion of the job request, transmitting a second command to the first computing system. The second command instructs the first computing system to associate a default VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The default VNK does not correspond to the first tenant.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions include:
in response to receiving a job request that identifies a first tenant, obtaining a first virtual network key corresponding to the first tenant;
identifying a first computing system that has resources available to satisfy the job request;
transmitting a first command to the first computing system, wherein the first command:
includes the first virtual network key,
instructs the first computing system to assign a virtual machine to the job request, and
instructs the first computing system to associate the first virtual network key with the assigned virtual machine;
and
in response to completion of the job request, transmitting a second command to the first computing system, wherein:
the second command instructs the first computing system to associate a default virtual network key with the assigned virtual machine, and
the default virtual network key does not correspond to the first tenant.

A method comprising:

in response to receiving a job request that identifies a first tenant, obtaining a first virtual network key corresponding to the first tenant;
identifying a first computing system that has resources available to satisfy the job request;
transmitting a first command to the first computing system, wherein the first command:
includes the first virtual network key,
instructs the first computing system to assign a virtual machine to the job request, and
instructs the first computing system to associate the first virtual network key with the assigned virtual machine;
and
in response to completion of the job request, transmitting a second command to the first computing system, wherein:
the second command instructs the first computing system to associate a default virtual network key with the assigned virtual machine, and
the default virtual network key does not correspond to the first tenant.
