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 computer-implemented method for applying a per-tenant middleware policy for each of a plurality of tenants, the per-tenant middleware policy being maintained by a middleware management service, the method comprising:
a middleware enforcement mechanism receiving network traffic from a middleware management service that is maintaining a per-tenant middleware policy, the network traffic having been directed to the middleware enforcement mechanism based on the middleware policy which selectively directs network traffic to the middleware enforcement mechanism based on an identity of a tenant assigned to a target virtual machine that corresponds to the network traffic; and the middleware enforcement mechanism applying one or more functions to the received network traffic, thereby causing the middleware policy to be selectively applied to the received network traffic at a tenant granularity for a virtual machine.
