Abstract
A data management and storage (DMS) cluster of peer DMS nodes manages data of a tenant of a multi-tenant compute infrastructure. The compute infrastructure includes an envoy connecting the DMS cluster to virtual machines of the tenant executing on the compute infrastructure. The envoy provides the DMS cluster with access to the virtual tenant network and the virtual machines of the tenant connected via the virtual tenant network for DMS services such as data fetch jobs to generate snapshots of the virtual machines. The envoy sends the snapshot from the virtual machine to a peer DMS node via the connection for storage within the DMS cluster. The envoy provides the DMS cluster with secure access to authorized tenants of the compute infrastructure while maintaining data isolation of tenants within the compute infrastructure.
