Project Galadriel, or just Galadriel, is an open source project that enables scalable and easy configuration of Federation relationships among SPIRE Servers. It works as a central hub for managing and auditing Federation relationships.

• Alternative approach to SPIRE Federation: it's built on top of SPIRE APIs to facilitate foreign Trust Bundles management.
• Multi-tenant: multiple organizations can leverage the same Galadriel deployment, while ensuring data and operations isolation.
• Federation at scale: configuring multiple SPIRE Server federation should be easy and secure by default, that is Galadriel's main focus.
• Central hub: it's a central place where federation relationships can be defined and audited.

• A replacement of SPIRE/SPIFFE Federation: it doesn't replace SPIRE Federation, it leverages what's already built in there.
• A SPIRE plugin: it's deployed as a separate component, not as a SPIRE plugin.
