Abstract

A method for authorizing a pull request from a managed cluster may include generating an encrypted pull secret for a managed cluster, assigning the generated encrypted pull secret to the managed cluster, determining, responsive to receiving a pull request from a managed cluster at the service provider where the pull request has an accompanying encrypted pull secret, whether the pull request was initiated by an intended managed cluster by decrypting the encrypted pull secret assigned to the managed cluster using a decryption key, and authorizing the pull request based on whether the decrypted pull secret is assigned to an intended managed cluster.
