Comment 9 for bug 1931605

Hi Seth,

Auto-attach works by receiving some signed metadata from the cloud where the instance is running. That metadata is typically signed using pinned certificates shared by the clouds. We then verify the signature, and if valid, we create a Pro account and token for the cloud account/subscription. All instances started in that account/subscription then receive Pro via that same mechanism. But these instances still go through regular communication to the Pro backend like any other Pro-attached machine.

If LP can provide such an abstraction, and the Pro client can be updated to submit that information to the Pro backend (the client needs to add support for each cloud), then yes, it is possible.

But I don't quite understand how this would solve the problem stated in the title of this issue... can you please ellaborate your idea a bit more?
