Comment on SSH Keys Don't Scale. SSH Certificates Doparent

Comments

We implemented it at a previous company, but it was a managed services provider that had access to customer VM's or other infrastructure. It was part of the soc2 process to "approve, audit, and then grant timed access" to various infra.

Everywhere else I worked just used ssh keys, either deployed via ansible or via LDAP because it's so much more simple unless there's a high need for an audit trail with proof of approval. SSH keys scale perfectly fine otherwise.

Unless I'm desperate, I'll never work for a managed services company again, so hopefully I'll never need to bother.
