The presentation discusses how to use SPIFFE/SPIRE to securely access cloud resources from anywhere without having to generate, store, or manage API keys.
- SPIFFE and SPIRE enable identity federation for cloud native workloads
- SPIFFE IDs are structured strings that include a trust domain name and service name
- Trust domains are security domains that have a one-to-one relationship with a set of identity issuers
- SPIRE can be used to securely access AWS, Azure, and GCP resources without a secret access key
