Abstract
Techniques for rapid secure authentication and communications through multitenant components in a provider network are described. A main database cluster can request a burst cluster from a burst service, which can provide the main cluster with a shared secret associated with only a selected burst cluster. The main cluster can use the shared secret to encrypt a value that can be passed, via a proxy, to the selected burst cluster in a connection request. The selected burst cluster can validate that the connection request was truly originated by the main cluster by validating the encrypted value using the shared secret.
