Abstract
Responsive to a start-up of an instance of a cloud-based computing environment, metadata that is stored in a virtual trusted platform module (vTPM) is accessed. The metadata represents configuration parameters for the instance, and the configuration parameters include a security credential. The instance is configured based on the metadata. The configuration includes configuring an access control of the instance with the security credential.
