What is OpenID Connect Authentication? A Practical Guide

Hello, devops community,
Today, I present to you a topic that is less discussed and often taken for granted in our daily jobs.
OpenID Connect is among our industry's most widely used and least discussed topics.
Yet, it is so crucial when it comes to granting third-party access to a service provider. Have you seen those "sign-in with Google" before!?
In this guide, I will explain the notion of OIDC using a practical, real-world example: granting GitHub Actions access to an AWS account.
Feel free to ask any questions that come up.
