Patent attributes
Various embodiments described herein are directed to optimizing cloud computing infrastructures functionality based on an abuse prevention and remediation platform. A tenant profile may have a tenant confidence score for a tenant, the tenant confidence score being an indicator of the reputation of the tenant usage of cloud computing resources. Based on the confidence score of the tenant, one or more policies for the tenant may be identified limiting access to cloud computing resources. If the virtual internet protocol address (VIP) of the tenant is determined to be tainted, the VIP may be quarantined in a tainted VIP pool, the quarantining excluding the VIP from being selected for use until the VIP is clean. A cleanup routine may be executed, the cleanup routine communicating remedial actions for the tainted VIP. Upon completion of the cleanup routine, the VIP may be restored to a clean VIP pool.
