  • Dedicated network authentication and allocation for dedicated virtual machine host clusters
    Patent number: 11489827
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for operating a dedicated virtual machine host cluster within cloud computing infrastructure are described herein. In one embodiment, an instance principal certificate that includes a virtual network identifier for a dedicated virtual network for the cluster is retrieved by a host computing device. The instance principal certificate is authenticated by the host against a switch to grant access of the host to a virtual network indicated by the virtual network identifier through a network interface card of the host. A virtual function of the network interface card of the host is allocated to a guest virtual machine. The guest virtual machine is launched in the host with the virtual function as a network device of the guest virtual machine.
