Kiam is a Kubernetes agent that enables the association of AWS IAM roles with Pods in a cluster environment. The tool operates by running as an agent on each node within a Kubernetes cluster, providing a mechanism for cluster users to assign specific IAM roles to individual Pods. This functionality allows for granular access control and permission management within containerized environments. Kiam facilitates the integration between Kubernetes workloads and AWS Identity and Access Management services, enabling Pods to assume specific IAM roles and access AWS resources according to the permissions defined in those roles. The project has been marked for abandonment by its maintainers due to the introduction of AWS' official IAM roles for Service Accounts feature, which provides native support for similar functionality within the AWS ecosystem.
