Lightyears ahead of teleport or any of the other solutions out there. Built for great auditing and zero trust.
Best of all it’s multi-protocol. So you can do SSH, SQL, K8s, HTTP all with one access system.
Had it in prod for almost two years. Gonna be a long time before hashicorp or anyone else can catch up with the level of depth.

It would be nice if Amazon could make the comparison easier for us. But in this case most of the problem is that it's simply exposing the underlying wholesale/distributor model directly to the consumer.

Chargify is looking for a software engineer to join our internal development & operations team.
You may be joining us as a junior member, but don't expect to stay there long! We want to hire a sponge who is ready to take a big leap in their skills. We'll be there to help as you work to quickly grow into a standalone member of our 100% remote development team.
This is a new experiment. You’ll be joining the team focused 100% on security, reliability, performance, and internal tooling. This means backend-heavy work. Diagnosing hard problems, monitoring activity, building custom solutions, and delivering internal value. Your client-side chops, though awesome, won’t help you here.
Normally, there is no entry level to this track. But we’re looking for that special candidate who learns so aggressively that they’ll quickly pick up the specialized knowledge needed.

Second, instead of allowing sysadmins to find and follow simple, well-researched best-practices, the author instead wants each person to thoroughly research the annals of cryptography in order to then come to their 'own' conclusion. Most sysadmins won't do this. Or they will miss something or make rookie mistakes (this why you're always told not to roll your own cryptography). To put it another way: "you should not roll your own choices about which cryptography to use".
So for the other 99% who just need to get it right and move on: find the current best practices from a reputable source (like Qualys) and use those.
