Abstract
In some implementations, the techniques may include receiving a request to launch a first instance in a customer partition. The request can identify one or more of a cluster and an instance image. In addition, the techniques may include launching the first instance on a server in the customer partition using the instance image identified by the request. The techniques may include receiving a request to authenticate the first instance. Moreover, the techniques may include in response to a determination that the first instance is authentic: adding the first instance to the cluster identified in the request.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device of a cloud service provider, a first request to launch a first instance in a customer partition, the first request identifying at least one of a cluster or an instance image;
- launching, by the computing device, the first instance on a server in the customer partition using the instance image identified by the request;
- receiving, by the computing device, a request to authenticate the first instance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first instance is authentic:
- adding, by the computing device, the first instance to the cluster identified in the first request.
A system comprising:
- one or more data processors;
- and
- one or more computer readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first request to launch a first instance in a customer partition, the first request identifying at least one of a cluster or an instance image;
- launching the first instance on a server in the customer partition using the instance image identified by the request;
- receiving a request to authenticate the first instance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first instance is authentic:
- adding the first instance to the cluster identified in the first request.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first request to launch a first instance in a customer partition, the first request identifying at least one of a cluster or an instance image;
- launching the first instance on a server in the customer partition using the instance image identified by the request;
- receiving a request to authenticate the first instance;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the first instance is authentic:
- adding the first instance to the cluster identified in the first request.
