SHARABLE LINK FOR REMOTE COMPUTING RESOURCE ACCESS

Abstract:

Techniques of remote computing resource access using sharable links are disclosed herein. One example technique includes receiving, at a security portal of a private network, an access request from a client device of a user for accessing a virtual machine ("VM") on the private network via a public network. The technique can then include retrieving a copy of a configuration file corresponding to the virtual machine according to the VM identifier in the access request and accessing the virtual machine according to operating parameters in the retrieved copy of the configuration file to generate an execution result. The technique can further include transmitting, from the security portal, the execution result to the client device of the user via the public network, thereby shielding, with the security portal, the virtual machine on the private network from actions initiated via the public network.
