Teleport provides connectivity, authentication, access controls and audit for infrastructure.
Teleport includes an identity-aware access proxy, a CA that issues short-lived certificates, a unified access control system and a tunneling system to access resources behind the firewall.
This is free and open source software.
Use cases:
- Set up SSO for all of your cloud infrastructure. Note the open source version only supports GitHub SSO.
- Protect access to cloud and on-prem services using mTLS endpoints and short-lived certificates.
- Establish tunnels to access services behind NATs and firewalls.
- Provide an audit log with session recording and replay for various protocols.
- Unify Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and enforce the principle of least privilege with access requests.
