Teleport

Unified identity-based access for servers, Kubernetes, apps and databases.

About Teleport

Teleport is an access platform that replaces shared credentials and VPNs with identity-based, certificate-secured access to SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, web applications and databases. It issues short-lived certificates from SSO identities, records sessions for audit, and centralises access policies for infrastructure teams. An open-source community edition is free, with paid enterprise editions adding advanced compliance features.
