GitHub Actions: Enhancements to OpenID Connect support to enable secure cloud deployments at scale

OpenID Connect (OIDC) support in GitHub Actions is now enhanced to support secure cloud deployments at scale.

Org & repo admins can use the new OIDC API support to:

  • enable a standard OIDC configuration across their cloud deployment workflows by customizing the subject claim format.
  • ensure additional compliance & security for their OIDC based deployments by appending the issuer url with their enterprise slug
  • configure advanced OIDC policies by using the additional OIDC token claims like repository_id and repo_visibility.
