SPIFFE Deep Dive
summary
Explains how SPIRE implements SPIFFE with a gRPC workload API 1.0, pluggable server/agent plugins, and a demoed Kerberos node-attestor that joins a host to Lightwave KDC, validates service tickets, and returns X.509 SVIDs to workloads. Shows key manager generating CSRs, CA signing, and a local cache of attestation policies backed by a SQLite datastore. Demo proves automated node attestation, registration of a UNIX workload selector (UID 1002), and successful certificate issuance to nginx via the workload API.
