Evaluating AWS EKS Pod Identity

Read Original

This technical article provides an in-depth evaluation of AWS EKS Pod Identity, a feature announced at AWS re:Invent 2023. It explains how Pod Identity simplifies granting AWS IAM credentials to Kubernetes pods, compares it to the existing IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) method, and details its advantages like simplified trust policies and session tagging. The author also shares practical insights on why their organization has not yet switched to this new method and discusses its current limitations.
