Life cycle management for cloud-based application executors with key-based access to other devices

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processing device, coupled to the memory, operative to implement the following steps:
• determining that a retention time for a first cloud-based application executor has elapsed, wherein the first cloud-based application executor has key-based access to at least one other device using a first key;
• in response to the determining, performing the following steps, using at least one processing device:
• creating a second cloud-based application executor, wherein the first cloud-based application executor, the second cloud-based application executor and the at least one other device are distinct from one another;
• and
• determining a second key for the second cloud-based application executor that is different than the first key,
• wherein the second cloud-based application executor provides the first key with the second key to add the second key to one or more trusted keys of the at least one other device such that the second cloud-based application executor has key-based access to the at least one other device using the second key, wherein the first key is deactivated from the one or more trusted keys.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having encoded therein executable code of one or more software programs, wherein the one or more software programs when executed by at least one processing device perform the following steps:

• determining that a retention time for a first cloud-based application executor has elapsed, wherein the first cloud-based application executor has key-based access to at least one other device using a first key;
• in response to the determining, performing the following steps, using at least one processing device:
• creating a second cloud-based application executor, wherein the first cloud-based application executor, the second cloud-based application executor and the at least one other device are distinct from one another;
• and
• determining a second key for the second cloud-based application executor that is different than the first key,
• wherein the second cloud-based application executor provides the first key with the second key to add the second key to one or more trusted keys of the at least one other device such that the second cloud-based application executor has key-based access to the at least one other device using the second key, wherein the first key is deactivated from the one or more trusted keys.
