Abstract
At the request of a customer, a distributed computing service provider may create multiple clusters under a single customer account, and may isolate them from each other. For example, various isolation mechanisms (or combinations of isolation mechanisms) may be applied when creating the clusters to isolate a given cluster of compute nodes from network traffic from compute nodes of other clusters (e.g., by creating the clusters in different VPCs); to restrict access to data, metadata, or resources that are within the given cluster of compute nodes or that are associated with the given cluster of compute nodes by compute nodes of other clusters in the distributed computing system (e.g., using an instance metadata tag and/or a storage system prefix); and/or restricting access to application programming interfaces of the distributed computing service by the given cluster of compute nodes (e.g., using an identity and access manager).
