SPIFFE Ecosystem: MTLS and Identity with Linkerd and Teleport

Explore the growing SPIFFE ecosystem and its impact on workload identity verification in this 40-minute conference talk. Dive into a practical demonstration of how Linkerd, a Kubernetes-native service mesh, and Teleport, an infrastructure access control solution, have recently adopted SPIFFE standards to enhance security. Learn how to leverage these projects together to secure both Kubernetes clusters and external workloads. Gain insights into the motivations behind SPIFFE implementation and the advantages of adhering to this emerging standard for identity verification in cloud-native environments.
