# Project Scope
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Pinniped project is guided by the following principles.
|
2020-09-14 13:17:46 +00:00
|
|
|
* Pinniped lets you plug any external identitiy providers into
|
2020-08-26 14:06:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Kubernetes. These integrations follow enterprise-grade security principles.
|
|
|
|
|
* Pinniped is easy to install and use on any Kubernetes cluster via
|
|
|
|
|
distribution-specific integration mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
|
* Pinniped uses a declarative configuration via Kubernetes APIs.
|
|
|
|
|
* Pinniped provides optimal user experience when authenticating to many
|
|
|
|
|
clusters at one time.
|
|
|
|
|
* Pinniped provides enterprise-grade security posture via secure defaults and
|
|
|
|
|
revocable or very short-lived credentials.
|

|
|
|
* Where possible, Pinniped will contribute ideas and code to upstream
|
2020-08-26 14:06:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Kubernetes.
|
