Abstract
A fleet manager within a cloud computing system utilizes a registration framework with one or more cloud infrastructure managers having corresponding infrastructure data plane nodes, which may be in use by different tenants. Instead of having the infrastructure managers communicate directly with its corresponding infrastructure data plane nodes via a management network or domain, the fleet manager communicates with infrastructure managers and relay commands, instructions, and other payloads to the infrastructure data plane nodes using a virtual machine (VM) communication backchannel.
