Apparatus, systems and methods for agile enablement of secure communications for cloud based applications

摘要

Embodiments disclosed facilitate secure communication for cloud-based and/or distributed computing applications. In some embodiments, a method may comprise: instantiating a first Virtual Machine (VM) on a cloud infrastructure, wherein the at least one first VM is dynamically configured with a private key and a wildcard security certificate comprising a public key corresponding to the private key, and registering, with a domain name server, a domain name derived from an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the first VM and a Common Name associated with the wildcard security certificate.

1. A processor-implemented method comprising:
instantiating a first Virtual Machine (VM) associated with a cloud-based application on a cloud infrastructure, wherein the first VM is dynamically configured with a private key associated with the first VM and a first wildcard security certificate associated with the first VM, the first wildcard security certificate comprising:
a public key corresponding to the private key, anda Common Name, the Common Name including a wildcard character as a first substring; and registering, with a domain name server, a domain name associated with the first VM, wherein the domain name is derived from an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the first VM and the Common Name associated with the first wildcard security certificate.
