Abstract
Techniques for providing identity-enabled interfaces for deployment are presented. Specifically, an agent of an enterprise infrastructure authenticates and acquires an agent identity for interacting with a cloud processing environment. Once the agent is deployed in the cloud processing environment, enterprise policy can be enforced within the cloud processing environment on actions occurring within the cloud. The agent acts as an Application Programming Interface between the enterprise and the cloud processing environment. The reverse is also achievable, where a cloud deploys an agent to the enterprise to deploy a cloud interface within the enterprise for policy enforcement.
