Workload identity federation
A way for software in one system to prove its identity to another cloud and receive short-lived credentials, instead of storing a long-lived key. ZopNight uses it to assume customers' AWS roles, and it is an option for connecting Azure. Why it matters: Removing stored keys removes the most common thing that leaks.
