What would you like Teleport to do?

Use the IAM joining method in the ha-autoscale-cluster instead of the ugly machinery we have that renews token.

What problem does this solve?

  • no shared secrets, more secure
  • more reliable joining, fewer failure modes
  • no longer "proxy takes 20 minutes to start because it's waiting for a token" after initial deployment (encountered this during the test plan as I rolled the auths a bit too quickly)

If a workaround exists, please include it.

  • keep using the static token rotation system we build before IAM joining was a thing

Implementation notes:
