Abstract
Described are methods and systems for workload identity and access management. The method comprises: receiving a request from a client workload to access a service workload; authenticating the client workload based at least in part on identifying information determined from a compute environment of the client workload; retrieving an access policy based at least in part on the client workload identity; generating or retrieving an access credential to access the service workload based at least in part on the access policy; and communicating data between the workload and the service based at least in part on the access credential.
