IAM is the de-facto method of authorization in AWS. Most Kubernetes “Quick Start” guides for AWS do not adequately cover how to manage IAM access in your pods. In this talk we will first go over the security issues specific to AWS IAM on Kubernetes, then compare solutions, and then we will end with a detailed walkthrough for setting up your cluster with one of those solutions (see https://www.bluematador.com/blog/iam-access-in-kubernetes-the-aws-security-problem for more background).
The presenter is Keilan Jackson who is a Sr. Software Engineer at Blue Matador responsible for the back end system, production monitoring, AWS infrastructure, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
