OpenID Coming to SSH
How does this compare to Userify's plain-jane SSH key technique?
The agent (https://github.com/userify/shim) sticks with decentralized regular keys and only centralizes the control plane, which seems to be more reliable in case your auth server goes offline - you can still login to your servers (just no updates to existing keys).
This project looks like it has a lot of heavy dependencies, which seems like an increased surface area (like Userify's Active Directory integration, but at least that's optional)

S3 Express Is All You Need
That's exactly how Userify[0] used to work. (when it was Python; now that it's a Go app, we do the caching in memory using Ristretto[1]).

Userify SSH Key Manager
Userify centralizes management of your users' SSH authorized_keys files across different projects and instance/server groups across multiple clouds. Using a web-interface (red=root, green=user, white=none), you can click to change permissions or remove access for that user across all servers in that group.
Your servers run a small (https://github.com/userify/shim) python script that continuously checks in with Userify via HTTPS. If a user no longer exists in that group, all sessions are actively killed (kill -9), the user account is deleted, and the home directory is renamed to /home/deleted:username so you can review the files in there at your convenience. If a user is later restored, that directory is automatically restored as well.
It's available via zero-install Userify Cloud or you can install your own server for data sovereignty.
