Databases are sensitive resources that need an additional layer of protection and security. Though database servers have built-in authentication and authorization mechanisms, they are not designed for cloud-based, multi-tenant access mechanisms. Managed databases such as Amazon RDS are accessed and administered by different personas with varying levels of access permissions.
I have news to share. Teleport has just secured $110M in Series C funding to keep growing the business that I started with my co-founders Sasha Klizhentas and Taylor Wakefield in 2015. This is exciting for founders and employees, but I think it is also excellent news for all software engineers who are crying out for a better way to manage secure access to their mission-critical cloud infrastructure. More on that below.

This blog post covers some of my favorite settings for configuring the behavior of an ssh client (i.e. what is in the man pages for ssh_config). Whether you are looking to add some additional security constraints, minimize failures, or prevent carpal tunnel, ssh_config is an often underutilized, yet powerful tool. While the examples in this article focus on ssh configurations on unix based systems like linux and macOS, running an ssh server on windows is supported using openSSH.
Every Kubernetes developer’s favorite time of year is just around the corner, Kubecon EU 2022! Whether you’re attending in person in beautiful Valencia, Spain, or watching the conference from your couch at home, here are a few reasons why — if you operate any Kubernetes infrastructure — you need Teleport.
In this post I will be announcing a new open source project: Teleport Connect. It is a dedicated secure web browser for accessing cloud infrastructure. But first, let me explain why we've decided to build it, starting with a bit of historical context. As a kid I have always enjoyed imagining the process of programming to having a conversation with a machine. The REPL loop is the most obvious example of this interaction. As our code grows it no longer fits in a REPL environment.
Running a Kubernetes-based infrastructure is challenging and complex. Administrators often lament how complicated performance optimization and monitoring are, which can lead to problems in production. Additionally, even finely-tuned Kubernetes deployments can encounter sporadic issues. When Kubernetes starts behaving in strange ways, digging into logs can help you uncover breadcrumbs. These contextual hints can help lead you to possible solutions.
