teleport

Teleport provides connectivity, authentication, access controls and audit for
infrastructure.

You might use Teleport to:

* Set up single sign-on (SSO) for all of your cloud and on-prem
  infrastructure.
* Protect access to servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, Windows
  desktops, web applications, and cloud APIs without long-lived keys or
  passwords.
* Establish secure tunnels to reach resources behind NATs and firewalls
  without VPNs or bastion hosts.
* Record and audit activity across SSH, Kubernetes, database, RDP, and web
  sessions.
* Apply consistent Role-Based and Attribute-Based Access Control (RBAC/ABAC)
  across users, machines, workloads, and resource types.
* Enforce least privilege and Just-in-Time (JIT) access requests for
  elevated roles or sensitive systems.
* Maintain a single identity and access layer for both human users and
  workloads.

Teleport works with SSH, Kubernetes, databases, RDP, cloud consoles,
internal web services, Git repositories, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
servers.

certificates, a unified access control system, and a tunneling system to access
resources behind the firewall.
