  • directing, by a provisioning machine, a hypervisor executing on a server, to provision a virtual machine on the server;

    directing, by the provisioning machine, a directory service management component executing on a directory server to generate a first organizational unit within a multi-tenant directory service associated with a first entity and separated from a second organizational unity in the multi-tenant directory service by a firewall;

    associating, by the provisioning machine, the virtual machine with the first organizational unit;

    directing, by the provisioning machine, the directory service management component to establish a firewall policy preventing a user authorized to access the second organizational unit in the multi-tenant directory service from accessing the first organizational unit, the second organizational unit associated with a second entity, wherein establishing the firewall policy further comprises;

    modifying, by the directory service management component, a policy object defining at least one attribute of the first organizational unity to include the firewall policy;

    receiving, by the provisioning machine, from a management component, a request to provision a virtualized resource for at least one user within an organization, the request received after the provisioning of the virtual machine and generation of the first organizational unit; and
