The easiest, and most secure way to access and protect all of your infrastructure.
About Gravitational Teleport
From the project's README at github.com/gravitational/teleport. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Teleport provides connectivity, authentication, access controls and audit for infrastructure.
Set up SSO for all of your cloud infrastructure [1]. 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.
Teleport works with SSH, Kubernetes, databases, RDP, and web services.
