1. A method, comprising:
parsing, by a device, a first configuration object, associated with an application, to identify first configuration data,
wherein parsing the first configuration object comprises processing an unmodified configuration object;
calculating, by the device, a first hash value based on the first configuration data,
wherein calculating the first hash value comprises calculating the first hash value based on unmodified configuration data included in the unmodified configuration object;
determining, by the device, whether the first hash value matches a second hash value,
wherein the second hash value is generated based on second configuration data; and
preventing, by the device and based on the first hash value matching the second hash value, generation of a first operational object based on the first configuration data and the first hash value.
