PROVIDING DOMAIN-JOINED REMOTE APPLICATIONS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Embodiments are directed to provisioning private virtual machines in a public cloud and to managing private virtual machines hosted on a public cloud. In one scenario, a computer system receives authentication information for a private domain from an entity. The entity indicates that their private virtual machines are to be provisioned on a public cloud, where the entity's private domain is accessible using the authentication information. The computer system establishes a virtual network on the public cloud which is configured to host the entity's private virtual machines, where each virtual machine hosts remote applications. The computer system establishes an authenticated connection from the virtual network to the entity's private domain using the received authentication information and provides the entity's private virtual machines on the public cloud. The remote applications provided by the private virtual machines then have access to data stored within the entity's private domain using the authenticated connection.

主权项

1. A computer system comprising the following:
one or more processors; system memory; one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform a method for provisioning private virtual machines in a public cloud, the method comprising the following:
an act of receiving authentication information for a private domain from an entity, the entity indicating that one or more of their private virtual machines are to be provisioned on a public cloud, the entity's private domain being accessible using the authentication information;an act of establishing a virtual network on the public cloud, the virtual network being configured to host the entity's one or more private virtual machines, each virtual machine being configured to host one or more remote applications;an act of establishing an authenticated connection from the virtual network to the entity's private domain using the received authentication information; andan act of providing at least one of the entity's private virtual machines on the public cloud, wherein at least one of the remote applications provided by the private virtual machines has access to data stored within the entity's private domain using the authenticated connection.
