For many engineers, Identity Management can elicit a broad range of emotions—from confusion during setup and configuration, to complete disinterest as it disappears into the background during day-to-day work, to frustration they encounter erroneously blocked access, and sometimes to terror when misconfigurations lead to a breach.

In this episode of Datadog On, Andrew Krug (Security Advocacy Lead) chats with Ben Donohue (Sr. Manager, Cloud Compute) and Leonid Vasilyev (Manager, Cloud Compute) about how they manage Identity for Datadog’s AWS resources. They’ll discuss some of the challenges that Datadog faces from running at scale and the processes and solutions they’ve developed to ensure that people and workloads have the access they need.
