    Abstract: An identity management and authorization system (IMAS) receives a request to download an application to a user device associated with a user. The IMAS downloads, to the user device, a template application instance corresponding to the requested application, the template application instance having a reduced functionality than the requested application. The IMAS receives, from the user device, a request to register to the downloaded template. Responsive to receiving the request to register the application, the IMAS causes the template application instance on the user device to transition to an application instance of the application with full functionality, generates an application instance-specific credential for the application instance, associates the generated application instance-specific credential with the application instance, and stores the application instance-specific credential in association with (1) an application identifier identifying the application instance, (2) a user identifier identifying the user, and (3) a user device identifier identifying the user device.

    Abstract: Described herein is a token exchange framework between two different cloud services providers. A multi-cloud infrastructure included in a first cloud environment that is provided by a first cloud services provider (CSP) receives a first request from a user associated with an account in a second cloud environment that is provided by a second CSP. The first request corresponds to using of a service provided by the first cloud environment and includes a first token issued by the second CSP. The multi-cloud infrastructure obtains a second token issued by the first CSP based on validating the first token with respect to a trust configuration corresponding to the second CSP. The trust configuration is previously generated and maintained by the first CSP in the first cloud environment. The multi-cloud infrastructure transmits the second token to the service to enable the user to utilize the service provided by the first cloud environment.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a multi-cloud control plane (MCCP) in a first cloud infrastructure (included in a first cloud environment provided by a first cloud services provider) that enables services and/or resources provided in the first cloud infrastructure to be utilized by users of a second cloud environment. The first cloud infrastructure receives a request from a user associated with an account in the second cloud infrastructure. The request corresponding to using a service provided by the first cloud infrastructure. A tenancy is created for the user in the first cloud infrastructure to enable the user to utilize the service, and a link-resource object is created that includes information linking the tenancy of the user in the first cloud infrastructure to the account of the user in the second cloud infrastructure, the link-resource object enabling the user to utilize the service provided by the first cloud infrastructure.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling resources within a cloud computing system to interact with each other. In certain embodiments, a token renewal mechanism is provided for extending the duration in which a first resource can access another resource. The token renewal mechanism can involve the first resource periodically causing a new credential to be generated for itself and then communicating the new credential to an identity and access management (IAM) system. The new credential may be generated for compliance with a credential rotation policy specifying that credentials should be changed after a certain period of time. The IAM system may associate a digital access token with the new credential so that for subsequent requests, the IAM system will only recognize the resource principal based upon the new credential. The digital token can be invalidated if a new credential is not changed within the specified period of time.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein support tag based request context in a cloud infrastructure environment. Cloud administrators do not generally have the ability to restrict resource usage in existing clouds. Granting a user permission to create resources allows them to create and/or terminate any number of resources up to a predefined account limit. Tags are associated with requests for resources for allowing administrators to restrict a user's handling of resources to the appropriate level by allowing fine-tuned control of access to the resources based on the context of the request for the resources. Request context information of the request is compared against a required credential gate level for permitting handling of resources in a tenancy having the first privilege level classification, and the request is selectively granted based on the request context information matching the first required credential gate level.
