Remote operation authorization between pairs of sites with pre-established trust

Abstract:

One or more embodiments provide techniques for executing a workflow in a private data center. The cloud data center receives a request from a user. The cloud data center notifies the private data center that the request necessitates execution of the workflow in the private data center. A handler in the private data center maps a component of the cloud data center to the request. The handler determines whether a pairing exists between the component in the cloud data center and a component of the private data center. Upon determining that the pairing exists, the handler executes the workflow in the private data center. The handler publishes the results of the workflow to the cloud data center.
