Systems and methods for controlling user access to command execution

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for providing users with access to execute commands on network-accessible computing resources. In some cases, permissions are established for users to execute commands on computing nodes provided by online services, such as by maintaining various permission information external to those provided computing nodes, for use in controlling user access, use and / or Ability to modify provided compute nodes. The interface component may use such external permission information in order to determine whether a particular user is authorized to execute one or more particular commands on one or more particular compute nodes, and when authorized to initiate concurrently and independently Execute said command. The interface component can also aggregate results from each compute node executing the command before providing the results to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computing, and in particular, to systems and methods for controlling user access to command execution. Background technique [0002] Many companies and other organizations operate computer networks that interconnect numerous computing systems to support their operations, where the computing systems may be co-located (for example, as part of a private local area network, or "LAN"), or vice versa , located in multiple distinct geographic locations (for example, connected via one or more other private or shared intermediate networks). For example, data centers housing significant numbers of interconnected co-located computing systems have become commonplace, such as private data centers operated by or on behalf of a single organization, as well as public data centers operated by entities as a business to provide computing resources to customers. data center. Some public data center operators provide networ...
