Abstract
A server is paired. A pairing request that includes a pairing key is received from an unpaired server. A determination is made regarding whether to approve or reject the pairing request. Making the determination comprises attempting to validate the pairing key in the pairing request. Responsive to determining to approve the pairing request: the unpaired server is notified that the unpaired server is now a managed server; a description of the managed server is generated, wherein the managed server description includes a set of one or more labels that describe the managed server; management instructions are generated for the managed server based on the managed server description and based on an administrative domain-wide management policy that includes a rule that refers to managed servers using a label; and the management instructions are sent to the managed server.
