Overview
Pinniped provides identity services to Kubernetes.
Pinniped allows cluster administrators to easily plug in external identity providers (IDPs) into Kubernetes clusters. This is achieved via a uniform install procedure across all types and origins of Kubernetes clusters, declarative configuration via Kubernetes APIs, enterprise-grade integrations with IDPs, and distribution-specific integration strategies.
Example Use Cases
- Your team uses a large enterprise IDP, and has many clusters that they
manage. Pinniped provides:
- Seamless and robust integration with the IDP
- Easy installation across clusters of any type and origin
- A simplified login flow across all clusters
- Your team shares a single cluster. Pinniped provides:
- Simple configuration to integrate an IDP
- Individual, revocable identities
Architecture
Pinniped offers credential exchange to enable a user to exchange an external IDP credential for a short-lived, cluster-specific credential. Pinniped supports various IDP types and implements different integration strategies for various Kubernetes distributions to make authentication possible.
