A system includes a processor executing instructions from a computer-readable storage medium. The instructions include, in response to receiving a job request that identifies a first tenant, obtaining a first virtual network key (VNK) corresponding to the first tenant. The instructions include identifying a first computing system that has resources available to satisfy the job request. The instructions include transmitting a first command to the first computing system. The first command includes the first VNK, instructs the first computing system to assign a virtual machine to the job request, and associates the first VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The instructions include, in response to completion of the job request, transmitting a second command to the first computing system. The second command instructs the first computing system to associate a default VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The default VNK does not correspond to the first tenant.

Fast join and leave virtual network

The low latency use of a multi-tenancy environment. To protect against hostility between tenants within different trust domains, tenant(s) of a common trust domain are run within a trust boundary component. Thus, there is security to protect against potential hostility between tenants of different trust domains. In order to quickly start up trust boundary components, there are multiple pre-readied (e.g., initialized, pre-booted, and/or snapshotted) trust boundary components that may be started up quickly when a new trust boundary is to be established. Processes within the trust boundary component may additionally be run within a resource container that facilitates allocation of resources amongst the various processes. Because trust boundary components may be started up quickly, the multi-tenancy environment may have security (as provided by the trust boundary components) while still being lower latency (due to the fast availability of pre-readied trust boundaries).
