The document outlines requirements for building a scalable identity provider (IDP) that is OIDC-capable, with arbitrary availability and scalability, and an extensible architecture. It discusses considerations for defining availability, security by design, OIDC concepts, and taking a system, domain, and application view of scalability. Key ingredients include deploying the IDP across multiple locations using containers, Red Hat SSO, ELK for logging, HAProxy for load balancing, Terraform for infrastructure as code, and a dedicated user repository.
