Freeing Identity From Infrastructure in Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Environments

Watch a technical conference talk from fwd:cloudsec where Staff Engineer Ian Ferguson from Datadog explains how to implement secure, zero-configuration multi-cloud access across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud platforms. Learn about designing and building a system that uses sidecar containers to emulate cloud provider instance metadata service APIs, enabling seamless resource access across multiple cloud providers without requiring engineers to write provider-specific credential configurations. Discover how this infrastructure solution manages authentication for dozens of Kubernetes clusters, tens of thousands of hosts, and millions of containers while maintaining security and operational efficiency. Includes a practical demonstration of implementing these techniques in your own multi-cloud environment.
