Abstract: A secret management infrastructure federates with a cloud compute platform to store, issue, track and revoke secrets issued to workload instances. A workload instance can be provisioned with a token and can present that token to the secret management infrastructure (SMI) in exchange for a credential. In addition to validating the token itself, the SMI can verify whether the workload instance is entitled to receive the credential based on label match. The label is typically workload operator defined and corresponds to one or more attributes that the workload instance must possess, particularly physical, hardware, or software attributes. Preferably the secret management infrastructure verifies that the workload instance matches the label (that is, it has the necessary attributes) from the control plane of the cloud compute platform, or other source independent of the workload instance.

Abstract: A high pressure fluid coupling assembly comprises a nipple with a neck to be held in a yoke, which is pulled towards a socket box by a lever mechanism. When the nipple is pulled into complete engagement with the socket, the final downward movement of the lever pushes a locking plate into locking engagement with the distal ends of guide bolts, evenly distributed about the nipple and extending from the yoke and sliding through the socket box to the locking plate, which is in contact with the side of the socket box facing away from the yoke.

Abstract: A high pressure fluid coupling assembly comprises a nipple (1) with a neck 1 a to be held in a yoke 3, which is pulled towards a socket box 2 by a lever mechanism 4. When the nipple is pulled into complete engagement with the socket, the final downward movement of the lever 6 pushes a locking plate 10 into locking engagement with the distal ends of guide bolts 5, evenly distributed about the nipple and extending from the yoke and sliding through the socket box 2 to the locking plate 10, which is in contact 10 with the side of the socket box 2 facing 13 away from the yoke. The locking plate 10, guide bolts 5, yoke 3 and socket box 2 take up the nipple/socket separating force generated by the very high hydraulic pressure instead of the arms and joints of the lever mechanism 4.
