MULTI-TENANT MIDDLEWARE CLOUD SERVICE TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A system that includes multiple hosts, each running a plurality of virtual machines. The system may be, for example, a cloud computing environment in which there are services and a service coordination system that communicates with the hosts and with the services. The services include a middleware management service that is configured to maintain per-tenant middleware policy for each of multiple tenants. The middleware management service causes the middleware policy to be applied to network traffic by directing network traffic to a middleware enforcement mechanism. This middleware policy is per-tenant in that it depends on an identity of a tenant.

主权项

1. A computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more storage media having stored computer-executable instructions which are executable by the one or more processors of the computing system for implementing a method of applying a per-tenant middleware policy for one or more tenants, the per-tenant middleware policy being maintained by a middle management service, the method comprising:
the computing system causing the middle management service to access one or more characteristics of an item of network traffic;the computing system causing the middle management service to identify a virtual machine corresponding to the item of network traffic;the computing system causing the middle management service to determine a tenant identity of one or more tenant assigned to the virtual machine; andthe computing system causing the middle management service to determine which one or more function of a plurality of different functions to apply to the item of network traffic based on the tenant identity, wherein the one or more function is subsequently applied to the item of network traffic based on the per-tenant middleware policy.
