Learn how to implement secure, credential-less authentication across AWS and Azure using Workload Identity Federation in this 32-minute conference talk. Discover how to move beyond traditional secrets-based authentication by leveraging HashiCorp Vault, OIDC, and native identity providers to create seamless authentication flows for applications and CI/CD pipelines. Explore the brittle nature of static credentials and understand why federated identity represents a modern, scalable approach to multi-cloud security. Master the integration of AWS IAM Roles and Azure AD Federated Identity through practical demonstrations and real-world patterns. Gain insights into how Vault's Identity system and authentication methods work with federated identity to enable secure, ephemeral access for workloads running in Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, or on-premises systems. Walk through live demonstrations showing how to eliminate stored secrets while maintaining robust security posture. Understand the principles of Zero Trust architecture and how identity-first security applies to cloud-native infrastructure. Acquire a comprehensive blueprint for implementing multi-cloud identity management that scales across hybrid environments, making this essential viewing for SREs, cloud engineers, and platform architects seeking to modernize their authentication strategies.
