Deep Dive into Vault's AWS Auth Backend

Joel Thompson, Systems Engineer at Bridgewater

This talk explores the details behind the IAM authentication method of Vault’s newly renamed AWS auth backend. You’ll learn the background of the problem it solves and why it’s such an important problem, some of the other ways Vault has solved it, and how the IAM authentication method solves it. You’ll also learn about inferencing, why it exists, and the security assumptions made by the current inferencing implementation. You will leave this talk with a better understanding about the problems the iam authentication method solves and how to use it to securely integrate Vault into your AWS-based workloads. --
