  • Publication number: 20240320361
    Abstract: A computer system that includes one or more processors configured to execute a secure sovereign manager that controls remote execution of commands on a sovereign cloud computing platform. The secure sovereign manager is configured to create an escorted session for an unqualified user for invoking commands on the sovereign cloud computing platform. The unqualified user does not have sovereign-trusted credentials that define qualifications required for accessing the sovereign cloud computing platform. The escorted session is asynchronously supervised by a qualified user that has sovereign-trusted credentials. The secure sovereign manager is configured to receive an indication of approval or denial of invocation of a received command. Based on at least receiving an indication of approval, the secure sovereign manager invokes the received command on the sovereign cloud computing platform.
