Service Identity
A service identity is a technical identity assigned to a service so it can authenticate and call protected resources.
Definition
A service identity is the identity representation of a running service or workload. It is used to establish trust between systems, request tokens or equivalent credentials, and access downstream components according to defined authorization rules.
The Ariovis perspective
Machine, workload and agent identities need the same fundamentals as human identities: a clear owner, controlled credentials, limited permissions, a lifecycle and traceability.
