Identity has become one of the most important control points in modern systems. As applications grow more distributed and AI-driven automation becomes part of everyday workflows, identity increasingly defines how secure, predictable, and trustworthy those systems are. Decisions about access, scope, and lifecycle now shape not only the user experience, but also how well security holds up as systems scale.…

Why a “protected repo”? Modern teams depend on public container images, yet most environments lack a single, auditable control point for what gets pulled and when. This often leads to three operational challenges: Inconsistent or improvised base images that drift across teams and pipelines.
