In one example, a management node and an infrastructure node external to the management node may be identified in a cloud computing environment. The management node may execute a centralized management service and the external infrastructure node may execute a first infrastructure service that handles at least one infrastructure network function for the centralized management service. Further, a second infrastructure service may be deployed on the management node. Data in the first infrastructure service may be replicated to the second infrastructure service. Furthermore, the centralized management service in the management node may be repointed to the second infrastructure service such that the second infrastructure service is to operate within the management node.

A system and method for establishing trust between management entities with different authentication mechanisms in a computing system utilizes a token exchange service to acquire a second security token used in a second management entity in exchange for a first security token used in a first management entity. In an embodiment, an endpoint is set at the first management entity as an authentication endpoint for the second management entity, which is used to authenticate a request with the second security token that is sent from the first management entity to the second management entity. After authentication, the request is processed at the second management entity and a response is transmitted to the first management entity.
