Different instances of a policy management system, in different clusters of a computing environment, can be configured differently for different purposes. Different policy databases, associated with the different instances of the policy management system, can store different sets of policy data that may be used or accessed during software testing or other operations via the different instances of the policy management system. A resolver can use a lookup table to track which instances of the policy management system are associated with corresponding instances of policy data. External services that access policy data during software tests and/or other operations can query the resolver to determine which instances of the policy management system to communicate with to access particular instances of policy data, such that the services can interact with differently-configured instances of the policy management system without the services themselves being reconfigured or changed.
