Secure and efficient cross-service sharing of subscriber data

Abstract

A configuration management service provides data identifying its subscribers to a secure sharing service that executes in an account that has a higher security level than a service account used to provide the configuration management service. The secure sharing service securely determines whether each subscriber has authorized producer services to share resource configuration data with the configuration management service. If a subscriber has authorized such sharing, information identifying the subscriber can be stored in a location accessible to the producer services. If a subscriber has not authorized such sharing, the secure sharing service will not make the subscriber's information available to the producer services. The producer services can use the subscriber data to provide resource configuration data to the configuration management service only for those subscribers that subscribe to both the configuration management service and to the producer services.
