Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for maintaining, by a policy enforcement system in a first compute node, a plurality of policies and data associating a plurality of user credentials with the plurality of policies. A request is received from a compute process for data from a file system in the first compute node. The request includes user credentials. The request for data is sent to the file system, and the data is received from the file system. Based on the received user credentials and the data associating the plurality of user credentials with the plurality of policies, one or more policies that correspond to the received user credentials is selected from the plurality of policies. The policy enforcement system filters the data from the file system based on the one or more policies, and sends the filtered data to the compute process.
