EKS Pod Identity is a new feature released by AWS in November 2023, which simplifies the configuration of IAM permissions for pods hosted on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). We will compare EKS Pod Identity with previous methods, like IAM Role for Service Accounts (IRSA), highlighting the benefits of the new feature, such as eliminating the need for an OIDC Provider and simplifying the association of a Service Account with an IAM role. We will also explain how EKS Pod Identity uses IAM Session Tags to control the reuse of an IAM role for pods running on different clusters, namespaces, or using different Service Accounts.
