Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
a connector to receive a smart input/output (I/O) peripheral, wherein the smart I/O peripheral to provide an I/O service associated with a cloud operator domain of a cloud-based computing system; and
a node comprising at least one central processing unit (CPU), a hardware component, and a memory, wherein the at least one CPU to execute instructions associated with an application operating environment and associated with a cloud tenant domain, and the at least one CPU to execute instructions to, responsive to a boot of the node:
determine an actual compute state of the node based on a physical topology placement of the hardware component and an identifier of the hardware component other than the physical topology placement;
verify compliance of the actual compute state with a reference compute state for the node, wherein the verification comprises comparing the actual compute state to the reference compute state; and
responsive to the result of the verification, control whether the node is part of the cloud-based computing system.
