In today’s decentralized and cloud-native world, how do you ensure identity is managed securely, seamlessly, and at scale? What happens when your users span across multiple clusters, platforms, and regions—but still expect a unified login experience? Enter Keycloak, the open source identity and access management (IAM) hero we often overlook.

In this session, we’ll explore the Keycloak Chronicles—real-world lessons and hands-on strategies for implementing secure IAM in distributed architectures. Through interactive Q&A-style storytelling, we’ll tackle challenges like federated identity, fine-grained access control, and integrating Keycloak with modern workloads (Kubernetes, APIs, and microservices). Curious how to handle multi-tenant authentication or integrate with GitHub, LDAP, or SSO providers? We’ll answer that too. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap to managing identity in a decentralized world—with Keycloak at the helm. Come with questions, leave with clarity.
