Secure provisioning of resources in cloud infrastructure
First Claim
1. A method of provisioning computing resources in public computing infrastructure, comprising:
- receiving a request to provision computing resources in public computing infrastructure for a computing operation from a user, wherein the computing operation comprises an electronic design automation (EDA) operation;
generating a command to provision the computing resources in the public computing infrastructure;
sending the command to the public computing infrastructure using a provisioning credential for retention by an EDA tool developer;
associating the provisioned computing resources with an access credential for retention by the user and distinct from the provisioning credential; and
sending identification of the provisioned computing resources to the user for the user to access the provisioned resources based on the access credential and the identification.

Abstract
Provisioning resources in public cloud infrastructure to perform at least part of electronic design automation (EDA) tasks on the public cloud infrastructure. The provisioning of resources is handled by a cloud provisioning system that is generally operated and maintained by an EDA tool developer using a provisioning credential. After the resources are provisioned, the cloud provisioning system places user key on the provisioned resources. Once the user key is placed on the provisioned resources, the cloud provisioning system has only limited access or no access to the provisioned resources. Instead, a user client device takes over the control of the provisioned resources by using a user'"'"'s access credential. The provisioning credential is retained by the EDA tool developer and is not released to the user. Similarly, the access credential is retained by the user and not released to the EDA tool developer. In this way, the EDA tool developer can retain control of the resources deployed for the EDA tasks while ensuring that the user'"'"'s information associated with the EDA tasks is secure.

8. A provisioning system for provisioning computing resources in public computing infrastructure, comprising:
-
a communication module configured to receive a request to provision computing resources in public computing infrastructure for a computing operation from a user and send identification of provisioned computing resources to the user, wherein the computing operation comprises an electronic design automation (EDA) operation; and a provision handler configured to generate a command to provision the computing resources in the public computing infrastructure responsive to receiving the request, send the command to the public computing infrastructure using a provisioning credential for retention by an EDA tool developer, and associate the provisioned computing resources with an access credential for retention by the user and distinct from the provisioning credential, the user accessing the provisioned computing resources based on the access credential and the identification. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions when executed by a process in a provision system for provisioning computing resources in public computing infrastructure, cause the processor to:
-
receive a request to provision computing resources in public computing infrastructure for a computing operation from a user, wherein the computing operation comprises an electronic design automation (EDA) operation; generate a command to provision the computing resources in the public computing infrastructure; send the command to the public computing infrastructure using a provisioning credential for retention by an EDA tool developer; associate the provisioned computing resources with an access credential for retention by the user and distinct from the provisioning credential; and send identification of the provisioned computing resources to the user for the user to access the provisioned resources based on the access credential and the identification.
