I apologize if my reply was seen as critical in any way. I only wanted to make a difference between Octelium as a complete platform compared to Pomerium (I meant the open source project not the entire Enterprise offering which is obviously a complete BeyondCorp solution) and Ory Oathkeeper as identity-aware proxies. A more technical description for Octelium is that it is for IaPs similar to what Kubernetes is for containers. It simply provides a complete control plane to manage and deploy IaPs on top of Kubernetes itself. In fact, I am a fan of Pomerium and their work (I still remember your great work related to Golang's Webauthn and its attestation-related stuff ~3 years ago) if you're part of the team. Funnily enough, Octelium started as a sidecar ext_authz svc for Envoy instances to operate as an IaP but I ended up creating my own Golang-based IaP, Vigil, from scratch because Envoy was just nothing but pain outside HTTP-based resources.
