Presentation slide about identity-aware reverse proxy architecture and implementation

At LinuxFest Northwest 2025, I spoke on Identity Aware Reverse Proxies (IARP). I explained the concept of an IARP, using diagrams and examples. Then, we walked through policy and code necessary to set up an IARP such as pomerium. Last, I demonstrated various applications I have secured using IARP.
