Are there good alternatives in 2024 to Keycloak + FreeIPA for k8s-native environments?

Dex + FreeIPA (or whatever backend you want to use) ?

Although 2FA is pending merge: https://github.com/dexidp/dex/pull/3712

Dex is very good if you have some other auth in place, but the local user store is quite bare-bones, and not all providers are equally good.

On the other hand it is very light on resources, so if you need it anywhere you can add it to you app/deployment and be happy.
