SPIRE
SPIFFE Runtime Environment
Definition
SPIRE is the production-grade implementation of the SPIFFE standard, providing a server and agent architecture that attests workload identity and issues SVIDs (SPIFFE Verifiable Identity Documents). Agents run on each node, attest workloads using platform-specific evidence (kernel attestation, Kubernetes pod metadata), and deliver short-lived credentials.
SPIRE is widely deployed in service mesh and zero-trust environments.
Can this ship? Are we exposed? Can you prove it?
Every CISO is asking these three questions. We answer them with facts, not guesses, from repository to runtime.
