REMOTE POLICY VALIDATION FOR MANAGING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM RESOURCES

Distributed system resources may be managed by applying user created policies to the resources. To ensure that valid policies are applied, remote validation for the policies may be implemented. A validation event for a policy may be detected. A remote validation agent may be identified for the policy and a validation request sent to the remote validation agent that includes information for validating the policy. The remote validation agent may return a validation result for the policy. If valid, a policy action that triggered the remote validation event for the policy may be allowed. If invalid, the policy action that triggered the remote validation event for the policy may be denied.
