Teleport is a good software if you can't configure your SSH servers with Kerberos, or can't figure out Kubernetes' millions of authentication and authorisations solutions.

Unfortunately, the Teleport open-source version has been discontinued and the free version doesn't allow companies above 100 employees or with more than 10 million dollars of revenue per year. Fair enough, everyone should live well.

But Teleport Enterprise is very expensive and I have been priced out. I don't know if I can share the price behind the "contact sales" but if you wonder about the price, you probably are too poor. In my case, it's quite a few orders of magnitude more than the time Teleport saves me.

So, I have been looking for a replacement that is open-source and likely to stay open-source for a while. I can pay for it, but I don't have a "contact us" budget.

For HTTPS, I never used Teleport and will stay with oauth2-proxy. For SSH, I found warpgate and sshportal, which may work but it looks a bit experimental. For Kubernetes, it's a mess but perhaps kubelogin could do.

If you replaced Teleport, how did you do it?

Consider Hoop (https://hoop.dev) as an open source alternative. It's designed to be lightweight and developer-friendly.

Key features that are free/open source: 1. SSH, K8s, database access 2. RBAC and just-in-time access 3. Session recording 4. IdP integration

We monetize on advanced layer 7 features like AI data masking and firewall rules. But the core access management stuff stays free. Repo is public if you want to check it out:https://github.com/hoophq/hoop

Good luck finding a solution that fits your needs.
