• The use of standardized identities, such as SPIFFE, can improve security and simplify the process of moving from on-prem and hybrid environments to clouds.
• The presentation demonstrates a toy example of a workload agency using a SPIFFE connector server to issue short-lived cloud credentials to workloads.
• The SPIFFE connector server is configured with an ACL to control which workloads can access which credentials.
• The presentation includes a live demo of the toy example, showing the deployment of the SPIFFE connector server and an example workload with a sidecar.
• The demo illustrates how the SPIFFE connector server issues short-lived credentials to the workload, which can then be used to access cloud APIs.
• The use of standardized identities can improve security by allowing for better auditing and control over which workloads have access to which credentials.
