Teleport is a self‑hosted identity‑aware access proxy that provides secure, short‑lived certificate authentication for SSH, Kubernetes, databases, RDP and web applications. It unifies access control, audit logging and just‑in‑time privilege escalation across heterogeneous infrastructure.
Use cases
- Secure SSH access to servers without long‑lived keys
- Provide zero‑trust access to Kubernetes clusters and databases
- Enforce role‑based and attribute‑based access control for cloud resources
- Audit and record all user and machine sessions across infrastructure
- Replace VPNs and bastion hosts with short‑lived tunnel connections
- Enable single sign‑on (SSO) for infrastructure access
When to choose
- You need a unified identity layer for humans, machines and AI agents.
- Your environment spans multiple protocols (SSH, K8s, DB, RDP, web) and you want a single solution.
- Compliance requires detailed audit logs and short‑lived credentials.
- You prefer self‑hosted, open‑source software with active community support.
When to avoid
- You require a fully managed SaaS solution with no operational overhead.
- Your infrastructure is limited to a single protocol and a simpler SSH bastion will suffice.
- You cannot run Go binaries or Docker containers on your target platforms.
