This practical guide explores how managed identities replace static credentials with short-lived, automatically rotated identities across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, CI/CD platforms, and Kubernetes. You’ll learn:
- Why static secrets are no longer sustainable in a multi-cloud world
- How managed identities reduce risk and streamline authentication
- Real-world patterns that combine cloud-native and universal identity solutions
- The business case: time savings, security gains, and improved auditability
- Emerging standards shaping the future of interoperable workload identity
Whether you’re securing cloud workloads, modernizing CI/CD pipelines, or preparing for a multi-cloud future, this guide gives you the framework to reduce your attack surface and embrace a more scalable, resilient approach to identity.
