Abstract
A network-based storage resource may implement access control for virtual computing resources that utilize the storage resource during live migration of the virtual computing resources. A network-based storage resource may enforce an access control that limits access to a host of a virtual compute instance. Upon detecting migration of the virtual compute instance, the network-based storage resource may allow a connection to be established with a destination host for the virtual compute instance. The access control mechanism may be updated to limit access to the destination host for data stored for the virtual compute instance at the network-based storage resource.
