Abstract
Secure communications are established in a non-secure environment between virtual machines configured as nodes of a virtual machine cluster having a virtual scale-out architecture without user intervention. When a new virtual cluster node is automatically and dynamically created and deployed by a virtual cluster master node, the master node embeds in a common image from which the new node is created an initial secret key for establishing initial trusted communications between the new node and the master node. The master node then passes a permanent secret key to the new node, opens an OpenSSL connection for creating a public key infrastructure, and signs the new node's CSR with its own public and private keys and sends the signed certificate to the new node.
