Whether you're running a multi-cloud strategy, migrating between providers, or building a distributed system, your Kubernetes pods need secure, passwordless authentication across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This guide demonstrates how to implement cross-cloud authentication using industry best practices: We'll cover three real-world scenarios: Important Note: These scenarios rely on Kubernetes Bound Service Account Tokens (available in Kubernetes 1.24+). Legacy auto-mounted tokens will not work for federation. Before experimenting with the samples for cross-cloud authentication in this blog post, you'll need: This section provides commands to create Kubernetes clusters on each cloud provider with OIDC/Workload Identity enabled. If you already have clusters, skip to the scenario sections. Traditional approaches using static credentials (API keys, service account keys, access tokens) have significant drawbacks: Workload identity federation solves these problems by: ✅ No static credentials: Tokens are automatically generated and short-lived
✅ Automatic rotation: No manual intervention required
✅ Fine-grained access control: Each pod gets only the permissions it needs
✅ Better auditability: Cloud provider logs show which Kubernetes service account made the request
✅ Standards-based: Uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) for trust establishment All three cloud providers use a similar pattern based on OIDC trust: While all three providers use OIDC federation, their implementation details differ: When authenticating from one cloud provider to other cloud providers, you must configure the token audience claim correctly. Each cloud provider has specific requirements: Use separate projected service account tokens with cloud-specific audiences: Reuse a single token with one audience for multiple clouds: Use Case: Simplifying demos or when managing multiple projected tokens is impractical This guide uses Approach 1 (dedicated tokens) for all cross-cloud scenarios to demonstrate production-ready patterns. Note: After completing this scenario, make sure to clean up the resources using the cleanup steps at the end of this section before proceeding to the next scenario to avoid resource conflicts and unnecessary costs. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 1.1, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default eks-aws-test, it means the EKS to AWS Authentication worked. Cross-Cloud Authentication Flow: Note: We use api://AzureADTokenExchange as audience to reuse the projected token across Azure and AWS. In production dedicated to Azure only, this is the standard audience for Azure Workload Identity. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 1.2, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default eks-azure-test, it means the EKS to Azure Authentication worked. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 1.2, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default eks-gcp-test, it means the EKS to GCP Authentication worked. Important Note: project: None in the output is expected when using external account credentials. The active project is determined by the client configuration, not the credential itself. After testing Scenario 1 (EKS cross-cloud authentication), clean up the resources: Note: After completing this scenario, make sure to clean up the resources using the cleanup steps at the end of this section before proceeding to the next scenario to avoid resource conflicts and unnecessary costs. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 2.1, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default aks-azure-test, it means the AKS to Azure Authentication worked. Cross-Cloud Authentication Flow: Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 2.2, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - Important Note: We use sts.amazonaws.com as the audience for AWS authentication, which is the AWS best practice. This creates a dedicated token specifically for AWS, separate from the Azure token used in Scenario 2.1. If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default aks-aws-test, it means the AKS to AWS Authentication worked. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 2.3, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pods kubectl logs -f -n default aks-gcp-test, it means the AKS to GCP Authentication worked. After testing Scenario 2 (AKS cross-cloud authentication), clean up the resources: Note: After completing this scenario, make sure to clean up the resources using the cleanup steps at the end of this section. Important: In GKE native Workload Identity, Google handles token exchange automatically. No projected token or external_account JSON is required—this is a key difference from EKS/AKS cross-cloud scenarios.
Setup Steps: Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 3.1, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pod kubectl logs -f -n default gke-gcp-test, it means the GKE to GCP Authentication worked. Cross-Cloud Authentication Flow: Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 3.2, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pod kubectl logs -f -n default gke-aws-test, it means the GKE to AWS Authentication worked. Submit the manifest below to validate the Scenario 3.3, if authentication is working you will see success logs as shown below - If you see logs like below for the pod kubectl logs -f -n default gke-azure-test, it means the GKE to Azure Authentication worked. After testing Scenario 3 (GKE cross-cloud authentication), clean up the resources: For production deployments, implement these additional security measures: Cloud SDKs automatically cache tokens, but you can optimize: Use connection pooling for better performance: Step 1: Audit current credential usage Step 2: Set up workload identity (follow scenarios above) Step 3: Deploy test pod with workload identity Step 4: Validate access before removing static credentials Step 5: Update application code to remove explicit credential loading Step 6: Remove credential secrets Step 7: Monitor and verify in production Cross-cloud authentication using workload identity provides a secure, scalable, and maintainable approach to multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments. By leveraging OIDC federation, you eliminate the risks associated with static credentials while gaining fine-grained access control and better auditability. If you're completely done with all scenarios and want to delete the Kubernetes clusters, refer to the Cluster Cleanup section in the prerequisites.

- Scenario 3 Cleanup - Final Cleanup - kubectl (v1.24+)
- aws CLI (v2.x) and eksctl
- az CLI (v2.50+)
- gcloud CLI (latest)
- jq (for JSON processing) - AWS account with appropriate IAM permissions
- Azure subscription with Owner or User Access Administrator role
- GCP project with Owner or IAM Admin role - Security risks: Credentials can be leaked, stolen, or compromised
- Rotation complexity: Manual credential rotation is error-prone
- Audit challenges: Difficult to track which workload used which credentials
- Compliance issues: Violates principle of least privilege - Pod requests a service account token from Kubernetes
- Kubernetes issues a signed JWT with claims (namespace, service account, audience)
- Pod exchanges this JWT with the cloud provider's IAM service
- Cloud provider validates the JWT against the OIDC provider
- Cloud provider returns temporary credentials/tokens
- Pod uses these credentials to access cloud resources - AWS: Direct OIDC validation via STS, returns temporary AWS credentials (AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey, SessionToken)
- Azure: Entra ID validates OIDC token against federated credential configuration, returns Azure AD access token (OAuth 2.0 bearer token)
- GCP: Two-step process - STS validates via Workload Identity Pool, then impersonates service account to get access token - ✅ Follows each cloud provider's best practices
- ✅ Clearer audit trails (audience claim shows target cloud)
- ✅ Better security posture (principle of least privilege)
- ✅ Easier troubleshooting (explicit token-to-cloud mapping)
- ✅ No confusion about which cloud a token is for - ⚠️ Violates AWS best practices when using Azure audience
- ⚠️ Less clear in audit logs
- ⚠️ Potential security concerns in highly regulated environments
- ⚠️ May not work in all scenarios (some clouds reject non-standard audiences) - Grant only the minimum permissions required
- Use resource-specific policies instead of broad access
- Regularly audit and review permissions - Use different service accounts per namespace
- Implement namespace-level RBAC
- Separate production and development workloads - Use short-lived tokens (default is usually 1 hour)
- Enable automatic token rotation
- Monitor token usage and expiration - Enable cloud provider audit logs
- Monitor authentication attempts
- Set up alerts for suspicious activity - Use private endpoints where possible
- Implement egress filtering
- Use VPC/VNet peering for enhanced security - Never commit workload identity configs to git
- Use tools like git-secrets, gitleaks
- Implement pre-commit hooks - Create separate Workload Identity Pools for each cluster
- Avoid sharing pools across environments
- Simplifies rotation and isolation - Rotate cluster OIDC providers when cluster is recreated
- Update federated credentials accordingly
- Maintain backward compatibility during transition - ❌ Don't use roles/storage.admin when read access suffices
- ❌ Don't use startsWith() conditions in production
- ❌ Don't share service accounts across namespaces
- ❌ Don't use overly permissive audience claims - Always prefer workload identity over static credentials
- Use native integrations when available (IRSA for EKS, Workload Identity for AKS/GKE)
- Follow the principle of least privilege in IAM policies with resource-specific scopes
- Implement strict claim matching in production (exact sub and aud matching)
- Test thoroughly before production deployment
- Monitor and audit authentication patterns regularly with cloud-native logging
- Keep SDKs updated for the latest security patches
- Use dedicated identity pools per cluster in production
- Rotate OIDC providers when clusters are recreated - AWS IRSA Documentation
