Author builds Myceliam Kubernetes operator for AWS and GCP federation
The author built Myceliam, a Kubernetes operator designed to simplify workload identity federation across AWS and GCP by continuously reconciling Kubernetes ServiceAccounts with external identity providers like Keycloak, Auth0, and SPIRE.

The design addresses configuration complexities and common failure modes such as token audience mismatches and trust-policy size limits. Open article →
