Simplifying AWS Permissions for EKS: Comparing Pod Identity and IRSA

 

https://schedule.businesscompassllc.com/

 

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a powerful tool for orchestrating containerized applications in the cloud, but securely granting IAM permissions to pods has long been a nuanced challenge. Historically, IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) has been the go-to method, but AWS recently introduced EKS Pod Identity as a simplified alternative.

This podcast dives into the architecture, pros and cons, and real-world use cases of both approaches to help you choose the right one for your environment.
