TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTIVE CONTAINER ACCESS TO CLOUD SERVICES BASED ON HOSTING NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18144951 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTIVE CONTAINER ACCESS TO CLOUD SERVICES BASED ON HOSTING NODE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a system and technique for a Request Forwarder in a computer network architecture. - The purpose of the Request Forwarder is to provide selective access to one or more cloud services. - The computer system receives a request for access to a cloud service, which includes a container credential. - The system determines the identification of the container using the container credential. - The system verifies the authorization of the container requesting access to the cloud service based on stored policies. - If the container is authorized, the system receives an instance credential from a metadata service. - The instance credential is included with the request and sent to the cloud service. - The Request Forwarder can be provided as a service in different examples.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and technique for a Request Forwarder as for a computer network architecture is disclosed to provide selective access to one or more cloud services. In some implementations, a computer system may receive a request for access to a cloud service, the request including a container credential. The computer system may determine an identification of the container using the container credential. The computer system may verify that the container requesting access to the cloud service is authorized based at least in part on stored policies. Based at least in part on the determination that the container requesting access to the cloud service is authorized: receiving instance credential from a metadata service. The computer system may include the instance credential with the request. The computer system may send the request to the cloud service. In various examples, the Request Forwarder can be provided as a service.
