Abstract
A method and system uses a test cloud system for monitoring cloud to cloud performance. The method includes initiating a first trust relationship by the test cloud system with a first target cloud system, receiving a success indicator for the trust relationship, in response to the first target cloud verifying the test cloud system is whitelisted, generating a security token using a private key of the test cloud system, and invoking a function of an application programming interface of the first target cloud using the security token to validate functionality of the function of the application programming interface of the first target cloud.
Claims21
A method for monitoring cloud to cloud performance using a test cloud system, the method comprising:
- initiating a first trust relationship by the test cloud system with a first target cloud system;
- receiving a success indicator for the trust relationship, in response to the first target cloud verifying the test cloud system is whitelisted;
- generating a security token using a private key of the test cloud system;
- and
- invoking a function of an application programming interface of the first target cloud using the security token to validate functionality of the function of the application programming interface of the first target cloud.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a set of one or more processors, are configurable to cause the set of one or more processors to perform operations of a method for monitoring cloud to cloud performance using a test cloud system, the operations comprising:
- initiating a first trust relationship by the test cloud system with a first target cloud system;
- receiving a success indicator for the trust relationship, in response to the first target cloud verifying the test cloud system is whitelisted;
- generating a security token using a private key of the test cloud system;
- and
- invoking a function of an application programming interface of the first target cloud using the security token to validate functionality of the function of the application programming interface of the first target cloud.
An apparatus comprising:
- a set of one or more processors;
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by the set of one or more processors, are configurable to cause the apparatus to perform operations of method for monitoring cloud to cloud performance using a test cloud system, the operations to initiate a first trust relationship by the test cloud system with a first target cloud system, receive a success indicator for the trust relationship, in response to the first target cloud verifying the test cloud system is whitelisted, generate a security token using a private key of the test cloud system, and invoke a function of an application programming interface of the first target cloud using the security token to validate functionality of the function of the application programming interface of the first target cloud.
