Secure method to replicate on-premise secrets in a cloud environment

Systems and methods for secure sharing of sensitive information in a computing environment. The methods comprise, by a first entity of a first computing environment receiving sensitive information of the first computing environment, receiving a request to share the sensitive information from a second entity of the first computing environment, and determining whether the second entity is a trusted entity included in a list of trusted entities held by a configuration service associated with a second computing environment. If the second entity is not a trusted entity, determining whether the second entity can establish trust by validating a subscription of the second entity with a directory service, and validating a digital certificate corresponding to the second entity with a certificate authority. If the second entity can establish trust or is a trusted entity, sharing the sensitive information with the second entity so as to enable operation of the second entity.
