Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with a consuming cluster where custom dependencies are exposed (e.g., a Kubernetes cluster deploying a workload) and an external service application programming interface where the custom dependencies are mapped. A dependency controller platform may be located between the consuming cluster and the external service application programming interface. Moreover, a computer processor of the dependency controller platform may receive information about an exposed consuming cluster custom dependency. The dependent controller platform may then map the received information to the appropriate external service application programming interface to declaratively streamline dependency consumption.
