AWS- OIDC Identity Provider For EKS Cluster
<p>When you create an Amazon EKS cluster, it is by default configured as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider (IdP). This means that it can be used to provide federated access to AWS resources, just like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook IdPs.<br />
AWS also supports IdPs compatible with OIDC to establish trust relationships to access AWS accounts. This means that you can use your EKS OIDC IdP to access AWS services using the IAM identity federation.</p>
