  • OPTIMIZED CREATION OF IDENTITY INFORMATION FOR PROVISIONED VIRTUAL MACHINES
    Publication number: 20240012665
    Abstract: A system and method for initializing a virtual machine (VM) image is provided. The method includes steps of retrieving identity data from a metadata service implemented by a cloud environment; obtaining, from the cloud environment, a virtual identity disk assigned to a VM; and writing the identity data to the virtual identity disk assigned to the VM. The method may further comprise encrypting the identity data with a data encryption key (DEK) or a public key of a virtual trusted platform module (vTPM) responsive to the vTPM being available.

  • Device identifier translation systems and methods
    Patent number: 11513811
    Abstract: A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to identify a message to a plug and play (PnP) manager of an operating system, the message comprising an identifier of a device to be configured by the PnP manager, determine whether the device is targeted for device identifier translation at least in part by determining whether the device satisfies one or more target device criteria, and replace the identifier of the device with a reference identifier different from the identifier of the device in response to a determination that the device is targeted for device identifier translation, the reference identifier being usable by the PnP manager to install or configure the device.
