SPIRE is a framework for building your own identity and workload management system. This often requires significant effort to build and maintain the parts needed for enterprise-scale deployments.
SPIRL eliminates the effort of deploying and managing workload identities through built-in integrations and centralized management helping teams focus on production readiness and security.
Regional architecture that's horizontally scalable. no data replication or east-west traffic, supports many trust domains, and no external dependencies like databases required.
Nested architecture that is difficult to scale while keeping secure, supports only one trust domain, and requires databases and frequent data replication. Data and federation flows with east-west traffic, requiring many firewall exceptions and inbound internet traffic.
Built from the ground up for reliability. Fault-tolerant architecture that continues to function in the face of network isolation. Simple, fewer moving pieces, fewer things to break.
Dozens of moving pieces, each with their own failure modes. A chaining (nested) architecture where any broken link in the chain is catastrophic. Many external dependencies.
SPIRL takes a centralized, opinionated approach to workload identity management, enforcing consistent key management and node attestation practices across the infrastructure to reduce misconfigurations and enhance security.
SPIRE is a distributed, non-centralized system where workloads must be registered at every level, giving anyone with registration access the power to mint identities across the entire trust domain.
Streamlined operations with cloud-native enterprise tools.
High operational overhead for deployment and management at scale.
Teams get to production faster with SPIRL with more confidence.
They replace their legacy secret and service account management faster with out-of-the-box integrations
