Abstract:
Techniques for tenant management of virtualized computing resources are described. Virtualized computing resources are allocated to a tenant who is allowed to request access to the allocated virtualized computing resources. A request is received for launch of a virtual machine instance based on the allocated virtualized computing resources. In response to the request, a secure enclave is instantiated and information is obtained that is indicative of the host computing environment and the secure enclave. The information is sent to the tenant, and an indication is received from the tenant to launch the virtual machine based on an independent attestation by the tenant based on the sent information. The virtual machine is launched in response to the indication.
