JAAS Documentation¶

JAAS is an enterprise layer on top of Juju.

JAAS provides:

The Juju Infinite Model Manager, JIMM (and its backing charm): A Juju enterprise-level controller.
JIMM-specific extensions to existing Juju machinery, including
- the Juju CLI (enhanced with jimmctl, for JIMM admins, and jaas, for regular JIMM users),
- the Juju dashboard (and its backing charm), and
- the Terraform Provider for Juju.

When you use an existing Juju on Kubernetes controller to deploy JIMM and its dependencies, and then connect your Juju controllers to JIMM, you gain the ability to:

use OIDC authentication for integration with your existing identity provider for federated login, service accounts and other features offered by identity providers;
use ReBAC for authorisation;
use the Juju CLI, Juju Dashboard, and the Terraform Provider for Juju to interact with multiple Juju controllers from a single point of contact.

If you want to take Juju to the enterprise level, you need JAAS.
