System and method for computing cluster seeding and security using kubernetes immutable resource log

An information handling system operating a Kubernetes® Immutable Resource Log (KIRL) cluster seeding and security system comprising:

• a processor, executing KIRL cluster seeding and security system code instructions to receive, via user input, and store a first cluster configuration file configuring a computing cluster for execution of a containerized software application and a first user credentials file for the computing cluster, where the first user credentials file defines a user authorized via the KIRL cluster seeding and security system to deploy the containerized software application at the computing cluster;
• the processor accessing a KIRL root directory for a first credential set identifying the computing cluster and identifying the first user credentials file for the computing cluster;
• a network interface device configured to receive from the computing cluster a currently enforced cluster configuration file configuring the computing cluster for execution of a currently executing software application;
• the processor, executing the KIRL cluster seeding and security system code instructions to determine that the first cluster configuration file does not match the currently enforced cluster configuration file for a currently executing software application;
• and
• the display device configured to display a warning message indicating an unauthorized reconfiguration of the computing cluster has occurred.

A method of operating a Kubernetes® Immutable Resource Log (KIRL) cluster seeding and security system comprising:

• executing, via hardware processor, KIRL cluster seeding and security system code instructions to receive, via user input, a first cluster configuration file containing a user-specified code editing label and configuring a first computing cluster for execution of a containerized software application;
• receiving a first user credentials file for the computing cluster defining a user authorized via the KIRL cluster seeding and security system to deploy the containerized software application at the computing cluster;
• determining with the processor and storing in memory an association, within a label index of a KIRL root directory, between the user-specified code editing label and a timestamped confirmation of user instruction to configure the first computing cluster according to the first cluster configuration file;
• receiving a user instruction to identify one or more cluster configuration files including a user-specified search term;
• and
• determining that the user-specified search term is associated with the first configuration file in the label index to retrieve the first configuration file from a user-commit instruction file in the KIRL root directory.
