Node Attestation

IAM Concepts
Node attestation is the process by which a SPIRE server verifies the identity and integrity of a node (physical machine, VM, or Kubernetes node) before allowing the SPIRE agent running on it to request SVIDs for workloads.

No-Code Auth

IAM Concepts
No-code auth is an authentication approach where application code does not directly implement authentication logic or manage credentials. Instead, infrastructure components such as service meshes, proxies or authentication agents handle identity verification, credential injection and policy enforcement transparently at runtime.
