Abstract:
A method and a system for checking permissions compatibility between a configuration management system and an orchestration system of a computing cluster are disclosed. The method comprises: identifying a request to approve a change in at least one file of the computing cluster. Retrieving from a repository of the configuration management system an identity of a user for performing the change. Acquiring a denial response or an approval response received in response to a query provisioned to the orchestration system, the query is for rights to change the at least one file using the identity of the user. In response to the approval response, entering the approval response, into the configuration management system for confirming the checking permissions compatibility is approved. In response to the denial received, sending a message to the configuration management system, the message is indicative that the checking permissions compatibility is not approved.
