Abstract
A fencing service receives a cluster message based on a first service's removal from membership in a first node in a cluster, and generates an access key based on a generation identifier in the cluster message. The fencing service sends the access key to a shared storage, thereby enabling the shared storage to create signing keys based on the access key, and which are used to validate signed requests to access resources stored by the shared storage. A second service in a second node in the cluster receives the cluster message, and generates the access key based on the generation identifier. The second service accesses a resource previously accessed by the first service, by generating a signing key based on the access key and a request to access the resource stored by the shared storage, and then sending the request signed by the signing key to the shared storage.
