Abstract: An example method of establishing trust between a cross-cluster control plane (xCCP) and a cluster control plane (CCP) of an autonomous cluster of hosts in a virtualized computing system includes: providing, by the xCCP, trust data of the xCCP to a hypervisor of a host in the autonomous cluster that is executing the CCP; providing, by the hypervisor, the trust data to the CCP through a volume attached to a virtual machine (VM) that executes the CCP; persisting, by the CCP, the trust data in a database; and accessing, by a security token service (STS) of the CCP, the trust data in the database to authenticate access to the CCP by the xCCP.
