Summary

The InfluxDB add-on for Ockam Orchestrator allows customers to automatically grant uniquely identifiable, least privilege, time-limited credentials for any client connecting to InfluxDB Cloud. This improves security posture by reducing the risk of exposing sensitive secrets and simplifying remediation in case of a credential breach. The add-on enables organizations to define standardized policies that define credentials suitable for their use cases, with each client requesting its own unique credential when needed. The time-limited nature of these credentials automatically revokes them upon expiration, eliminating operational complexity and reducing the risk associated with managing access at scale.
