Envoy Gateway OIDC Authentication & Authorization Demo

YouTube GitHub

In this demo, I’ll walk you through how to use Envoy Gateway’s SecurityPolicy to enforce OIDC authentication and authorization, using Amazon Cognito as the identity provider.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set up Envoy Gateway in your Kubernetes cluster
  • Configure a Gateway + HTTPRoute for HTTPS traffic
  • Attach a SecurityPolicy to protect backend services
  • Validate JWT tokens and apply fine-grained access control

🎯 Everything is handled at the gateway layer — your backend stays clean and simple.
