Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to validation of runtime objects for a software deployment using a certificate. After creating the runtime objects during a build process, a certificate may be generated based on the runtime objects. The certificate may include a fingerprint of the runtime objects that may be used before deployment to determine whether the runtime objects have been changed. Before deployment, the runtime objects and the certificate may be obtained and the certificate may be validated. In addition, the runtime objects may be validated using the fingerprint included in the certificate. For instance, the fingerprint may be re-generating based on the runtime objects for deployment. The runtime objects may be validated by comparing the re-generated fingerprint to the fingerprint in the certificate. The runtime objects may be deployed if the certificate and the runtime objects are valid.
