Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
receiving a payload including;
a first payload portion having application code configured to be deployed to a target resource cluster,
a second payload portion having payload identifying metadata uniquely identifying the application code in the first payload portion, and
a deployment target identifier that identifies the target resource cluster;

generating a token corresponding to the payload based on the payload identifying metadata, the token including:
a payload identifying claim having a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the application code, and
a deployment target identifier claim based on the deployment target identifier;

controlling a signing system to obtain a signed token by using a signature to electronically sign the token including the payload identifying claim and the deployment target identifier claim; and
outputting a deployment request, including the signed token and the payload, requesting deployment of the payload to the target resource cluster.
