Gravitational Teleport is an open source security gateway which allows for secure remote access to clusters of Linux servers via SSH (or SSH-over-HTTP) and Kubernetes clusters. Teleport is built on the Golang SSH implementation and is fully compatible with OpenSSH.

Teleport has been publicly audited by technology security companies like Cure 53. It is currently on release version 4.2.3.

History

Teleport was built by Gravitational Inc, a company specializing in Kubernetes-based application deployment and compliance. The security gateway protocol that became Teleport was extracted from a remote application management platform also built by Gravitational, called Gravity. Teleport was originally released in June 2016.

Teleport 3.0 was released in October 2018 and introduced Kubernetes integration.

Teleport 4.0 was released in 2019 and included support for IoT infrastructure and products.

The open source version of Teleport is known as Teleport Community and is available for download on Github.

Gravitational Inc also offers a commercial version of Teleport (Teleport Enterprise) that includes things like role-based access control (RBAC) and premium support and implementation.
