Abstract

Techniques to store secret information for global data centers securely may provide a front end service for a back end data store. The front end service may be responsible for deployment, upgrade, and disaster recovery aspects, and so forth, of data center maintenance. Data centers may access data and data-related services from the back end data store through the front end service. Secrets that are needed to access secure data may be stored on behalf of the data centers without providing the secrets to the data centers.
