The open source software Keycloak is used for Identity and Access Management (IAM). To better adhere to the principles of site reliability engineering and simplify use, the Keycloak team has created a Special Interest Group (SIG) that emphasizes better communication with practical users.

Keycloak Site Reliability Engineers Special Interest Group
The background of the new Keycloak Site Reliability Engineers Special Interest Group (SRE SIG) is that Keycloak has offered very little documentation and best practices in the SRE area so far. In addition, the Keycloak project is looking for a faster response to changes so as not to destroy existing installations without offering a migration guide. The new SIG aims to enable better communication between the Keycloak development team and people who use the open source software in practice.
According to the announcement, the desired outcomes of the SIG are: a simplified configuration and upgrade process, collecting best practices and feedback from actual Keycloak installations to identify and prioritize new features, and informing users about current and future features.

Program The conference, organized by iX, heise Security and dpunkt.verlag, features over 30 lectures over two days on the following topics, among others:
- SBOM in practice
- Secure Software Development with AI Support
- How “secure by design” is the development process?
- A zero trust architecture based on Anthos Service Mesh
- Integrate Passkey into your own applications
- The XZ/OpenSSH backdoor and its impact on the software supply chain
- Legal aspects of AI-assisted software development
Initial themes and further steps
The first meeting of the SRE SIG took place on August 19, 2024 and identified three initial discussion points:
- How to load test keycloak?
- What are the correct Keycloak metrics to look at and how to view them in the dashboard?
- Is it possible to simplify the configuration and setup of Keycloak?
It is currently unclear what the status is regarding regular meetings and their rhythm. The Special Interest Group will provide more details in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s Slack channel #keycloak-sre-sig Discuss. Interested Keycloak users are encouraged to share their experiences there.
