Hey folks,
As you may have deduced from the giant #1 in the title, you’re reading the inaugural issue of this newsletter. Way to get in early, but this isn’t crypto, so I can’t promise 10000% gains on any inserted jpegs (we’ll see if NFT jokes survive the test of time).
As the first issue, the burning question is – who is this for? Anyone who is or aims to be responsible for availability, resilience, performance, or security of a production cloud environment. Why is that? Because if that’s your responsibility, IAM policies will no doubt come into play – and they’re hard. Who couldn’t use a little help along the way?
To set expectations – I’m not the “IAM guy” (nor do I play one on TV). I’m an appreciator of the complexities, a fan of the craft, and an admirer of the professionals. What I can and will do to my best ability is surface the most useful content across a wide range of channels – and you’re busy, so I’ll keep it short, sweet, and punchy.
The surrounding context of this newsletter is that I lead an internal startup project at Okta called
IAM Pulse. We’re an independent team working on building a fresh brand, product, and audience from the ground up. The space we’re tackling is – you guessed it – cloud IAM!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the goods!
Cheers,
Ivan
