Abstract
When a configuration is generated in a distributed computing system, a first group of nodes is selected for validating the configuration and the configuration is deployed on the first group of nodes. When the first nodes in the group of nodes validate the configuration, the nodes sign the configuration with a signature. When a subsequent node is to implement the configuration, the subsequent node validates the signature on the configuration to ensure that the nodes in the first group of nodes validated the configuration. If the signature is validated, the subsequent node deploys the configuration.
