What is Easy OIDC?
Easy OIDC is a minimal OIDC provider that lets your team authenticate to Kubernetes clusters using their existing Google or GitHub accounts, and a simple configuration for mapping groups claims for easy RBAC. Using the Terraform/OpenTofu module, it can be deployed in 90 seconds, and run for a few dollars per month on a VM.
Problem
Users managing Kubernetes clusters face complex, time-consuming setup of OIDC authentication using traditional methods. Deploying and maintaining custom OIDC servers requires significant time, high costs, and complicated RBAC configurations.
Solution
A Terraform/OpenTofu module for deploying a minimal OIDC server. Users can deploy in 90 seconds and authenticate Kubernetes clusters via Google/GitHub accounts with group-based RBAC mapping.
Customers
DevOps engineers and platform teams managing Kubernetes infrastructure, particularly in startups or mid-sized tech companies.
Unique Features
90-second deployment via infrastructure-as-code, cost-effective VM operation (~$3-$10/month), native integration with Google/GitHub SSO, and simplified group-to-role mappings for Kubernetes RBAC.
User Comments
