Teleport is a tool for zero trust network access to infrastructure. Traditional setups require complex policies or jump servers to restrict access to critical resources. Teleport, however, simplifies this with a unified access plane and with fine-grained authorization controls that replace jump servers, VPNs or shared credentials. Implemented as a single binary with out-of-the-box support for several protocols (including SSH, RDP, Kubernetes API, MySQL, MongoDB and PostgreSQL wire protocols), Teleport makes it easy to set up and manage secured access across Linux, Windows or Kubernetes environments. Since we first mentioned it in the Radar, a few teams have used Teleport and our overall positive experience prompted us to highlight it.
Teleport is a security gateway for remotely accessing cloud native infrastructures. One of Teleport's interesting features is its ability to double as a Certificate Authority (CA) for your infrastructure. You can issue short-lived certificates and build richer role-based access control (RBAC) for your Kubernetes infrastructure (or for just SSH). With increased focus on infrastructure security it's important to keep track of changes. However, not all events require the same level of auditing. With Teleport you can stick with logging for most of the events but go the extra mile by recording the user screen for more privileged root sessions.
