Cloud IAM is a managed identity and access management service from France providing enterprise-grade authentication and authorization infrastructure. The service is built on Keycloak, an open-source OAuth and OpenID Connect server backed by Red Hat. Cloud IAM abstracts the complexity of Keycloak deployment and management, offering a fully managed platform without requiring organizations to handle installation, updates, or maintenance. The service provides customers with flexible infrastructure options, allowing selection of hosting providers including European options like Scaleway for data residency compliance. Cloud IAM supports multiple authentication methods including single sign-on, social login integration, and multi-factor authentication. The platform includes user federation capabilities, enabling organizations to integrate with existing directory services and identity systems. Cloud IAM provides role-based access control, allowing fine-grained permission management for applications and services. The service emphasizes reduced vendor lock-in through use of open standards and data export capabilities.
