Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

Workload identity is a key part of the zero-trust model. The SPIRE project aims to simplify the management and distribution of workload identities in the form of cryptographically verifiable identity documents. There is an increasing interest and uptake in this space within the Cloud native ecosystem.  The goal is to give customers a practical and scalable way to establish trust in a multi-cloud, multi-platform environment. It will strengthen OpenShift’s security capabilities and value-add as organizations harden their security policies. 

Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

Day 2 Operator that can be deployed on OpenShift clusters by administrators to facilitate multi-cluster workload identity management with SPIFFE SVIDs for workloads 

• SPIRE Server deployment, SPIRE controller Manager, OIDC Plugin,  
• SPIRE agent deployments along with SPIFFE CSI Driver   

Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

A list of specific needs or objectives that a feature must deliver in order to be considered complete.  Be sure to include nonfunctional requirements such as security, reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, usability, etc.  Initial completion during Refinement status.

Anyone reviewing this Feature needs to know which deployment configurations that the Feature will apply to (or not) once it's been completed.  Describe specific needs (or indicate N/A) for each of the following deployment scenarios. For specific configurations that are out-of-scope for a given release, ensure you provide the OCPSTRAT (for the future to be supported configuration) as well.

Use Cases (Optional):

Include use case diagrams, main success scenarios, alternative flow scenarios.  Initial completion during Refinement status.

<To be added> 

Questions to Answer (Optional):
