Scytale Enterprises: Mapping Identities

We need to have a cohesive way to give cloud based workflows access to on-premise identity providers (i.e Active directory)

Users will have the ability to map multiple identities without going into the command line

We worked at first with the idea of mapping single identities at a time, so the user would have to input each one individually and in a 1:1 capacity

In talking through the feature more we realized we may need a a one to many association, and at scale what we had originally designed wouldn't work very well, so we moved to what you see here

We believe Scytale Enterprise users will be able to intuitively map cloud workloads to on premises providers by utilizing an extensible mapping framework that spells out the mapping consistently

Scalability, as often talked about while developing this project, was the key challenge. We need to think about how this feature would work with thousands upon thousands of pieces of data - and this was always front of mind in designing the entire product - what was easy to do now that would also be scalable.

When designing we put scalability in front of mind by always figuring into the process the question "what would this look like at scale" - and even sometimes visualizing them on the whiteboard or via wireframes (unable to show you at this time)
