Methods and systems for gracefully rerouting connections between client devices and server devices are disclosed. The method may include suspending a logical connection between a client device and a service provided by a server device set and placing the logical connection in a predetermined state. While the logical connection is in the predetermined state, modifying a transmission path supporting the logical connection to remove a first aggregator that was previously in the transmission path and add a second aggregator to a second server device set to the transmission path. Using the modified transmission path, the logical connection may be resumed to enable the client device to resume use of the service provided by the second server device set.

Rerouting of client server connections

A system can receive an untrusted onboard announcement message from a remote computer, wherein the untrusted onboard announcement message comprises first data that identifies the remote computer and second data that indicates a current configuration of the remote computer. The system can identify a stored indication of an authorized configuration of the remote computer based on the data that identifies the remote computer. The system can determine that there is a mismatch between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can determine a trust metrics evaluation score for the remote computer based on a type of hardware component change between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can, in response to determining that the trust metrics evaluation score is greater than a threshold value, onboard the remote computer.

Trusted cloud device lifecycle management

Architectures and techniques are described that can provide decentralized, zero-trust authorization according to variable fine-grained policies For example, an authorization server can receive an authorization request from a requesting device. The authorization request can comprise a reference address to a resource, in which case resource data can be fetched, or comprise a signed entity indicative of the resource. In either case, resource data used to evaluate a policy can be obtained and, if an associated policy evaluation is authorized, the authorization request can be validated and an associated token can be provided to the requesting device, which can then be transmitted along with an API call to a service through which a resource is provided.
