A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center monitoring and management operation. The data center monitoring and management operation includes: submitting a request for a workload instance to a cloud service provider; establishing a secure communication channel between the cloud service provider and a data center monitoring and management console; exchanging information between the cloud service provider and the data center monitoring and management console via the secure communication channel, the information including a verifiable workload instance identity; and, using the verifiable workload instance identity to authenticate a workload instance provided by the cloud service provider.

A workload/Converged Infrastructure (CI) asset allocation system includes a CI system having a plurality of CI assets that include compute devices and storage arrays. A CI/workload management system is coupled to the CI system and receives a workload that includes workload requirements. The CI/workload management system then determines a first storage array that is included in the CI assets and that satisfies at least one storage requirement included in the workload requirements, and a first subset of the compute devices included in the CI assets that each include a path to the first storage array and that satisfy at least one compute requirement included in the workload requirements. The CI/workload management system then identifies the first subset of the compute devices, and configures the first subset of the compute devices and the first storage array to provide the workload.
