Highly available Identity and Access Management with Keycloak in the cloud - Michal Hajas

A single-sign-on solution shouldn't be a single-point-of-failure in your architecture. Keycloak, a popular Open Source Identity and Access Management solution that provides single-sign-on, amongst other capabilities, is no exception to this.
In 2023, Keycloak overhauled its multi-site capabilities for public cloud infrastructures, tested them thoroughly and provided deployment blueprints to the community. They show how to set up an AWS infrastructure and deploy Keycloak across multiple sites.
This talk presents, from an architects and developer perspective, how we approached the problem, which architecture we chose, the challenges we faced and which tools helped us along the way. Expect to dive into concepts like load shedding, cache stampedes, and automated failover. See tools like Gatling, Helm, OpenTelemetry and Kubernetes Operators in action.
