Abstract: A coordinator module for improving communications within a cloud computing system is disclosed. The coordinator module initiates transaction requests by generating a coordination context, where the coordination context includes a transaction context, a coordination type, and an initiator supplemental address. The coordinator module includes a supplemental address handler for creating the initiator supplemental address that unique identifies the coordinator module and the associated pod. The coordinator module receives transaction responses, where the transaction response includes a coordination context. The coordinator module includes a transaction context checker to verify that the transaction response was not received in error, by comparing the received transaction context with a saved transaction context. The coordinator module includes a registration bridge that identifies an alternate coordinator module and alternate pod to process the transaction response if the transaction contexts do not match.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods configured to prevent masquerading service attacks. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes sending, from a first server in a cloud environment, a communication request comprising an application programming interface (API) key and a first server identifier to an identity and access management (IAM) server of the cloud environment. The API key can be uniquely assigned by the IAM server to a first component of the first server. The first server receives a credential that includes a token for the first component and sends the credential to a second server. The second server sends the credential, a second server identifier, and an identifier for a second component of the second server to the IAM server. The second server receives an acknowledgment from the IAM server and sends the acknowledgment to the first server.
