Explanation

Identity federation is a way to allow users from one organization to access the resources of another organization without having to create a separate account in each organization. This is done by creating a trust between the two organizations' identity systems. In this case, Company B needs access to Company A's cloud resources, but it wants to retain its own IAM solution. Identity federation can be used to achieve this by creating a trust between Company A's IAM solution and Company B's IAM solution. This will allow users from Company B to access Company A's cloud resources using their existing credentials.
