The need to innovate and bring new products to market faster is one of the main drivers for the use of cloud computing in large enterprises. Cloud infrastructure is an essential part of the digital transformation as it builds the basis for agile software development. Companies have to increase their software delivery performance to stay in the game, even if their original strengths are in production.
To achieve this they often implement multi-cloud strategies as a result of so-called best-of-breed approaches. However, organizational processes and access management are considered to be the number one factor for rising complexity and cost in such environments. Inconsistent and heterogeneous access processes not only cost developers productivity, they are a great security risk, as their avoidance leads to an increase in shadow IT.
We introduce an approach to create and manage identities in a consistent way, following the cloud-native paradigm, providing a high level of autonomy to developers, while ensuring transparency for control and consistency.

Key takeaways:

 

- Consistent identity management is key to the secure use of multi-cloud environments
- Proper management of identities brings great productivity gains for developers
- Autonomy and transparency over complex and slow manual approval processes
