Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers.
Teleport centralizes access control, enhancing security by replacing bastion servers and reducing manual SSH key management risks. It eliminates root-level account exposure, boosting uptime to 99.90%, thus promoting productivity. While setup and RBAC configuration need improvement, and lacking error reflections complicate troubleshooting, managing hundreds of services can be challenging, particularly in self-hosted environments. Additionally, inability to download session recordings limits documentation capabilities.
