Zusammenfassung:Virtual computing instance (VCI) agent authentication in a public cloud can include running a periodic task by an agent on a VCI created from a VCI base image on a public cloud backend, where the VCI base image includes the agent. The periodic task can include querying a basic input/output system (BIOS) identifier of the VCI and calculating a hash of a string of media access control (MAC) addresses associated with the VCI. In response to the BIOS identifier and/or the hash not being stored in association with the agent, the periodic task can include authenticating the agent with the public cloud backend.
