- TODO: Brief Intro to the API
6
+ The Workload Identity API service (` workload-identity-api ` ) is a configurable
7
+ ` tbot ` services that allows workloads to request JWT and X509 workload identity
8
+ credentials on-the-fly.
9
+
10
+ It's a more secure alternative to writing credentials to disk and supports
11
+ performing a process known as workload attestation to determine attributes of
12
+ the workload before issuing credentials.
13
+
14
+ The Workload Identity API is compatible with two standards:
15
+
16
+ - [ SPIFFE Workload API] ( https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/main/standards/SPIFFE_Workload_API.md )
17
+ - [ Envoy SDS] ( https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/security/secret )
18
+
19
+ In addition to issuing credentials to workloads, the Workload Identity API can
20
+ also provide the trust bundle necessary for workloads to validate the
21
+ credentials of other workloads.
