monogon VS Gravitational Teleport

It's somewhere in my git stack :).

Until I get to publishing it, the proto/gRPC definitions for node management are a good enough start: https://github.com/monogon-dev/monogon/blob/main/metropolis/...

And the top level API to actually deploy workloads is plain Kubernetes.

Monogon, a fully remote, self-funded and engineer-led technology company, is hiring software engineers to work on Metropolis, an open source [1], secure, distributed cluster operating system based on Linux and Kubernetes.

Metropolis runs on a fleet of bare metal or cloud machines and provides users with a hardened, production ready Kubernetes - without the overhead of traditional Linux distributions or configuration management systems. It does away with the scripting/YAML duct tape and configuration drift inherent to traditional deployments, and instead provides a stable, API-driven, secure and vendor-lock-in-free platform for companies to build their products upon.

We're looking for senior candidates who can design, implement and verify complex systems that will make up part of Metropolis. We offer a kind and honest work environment in which we prioritize quality over quantity. You'll be the fourth member of a team working on an ambitious, industry-challenging product.

Our ideal candidate is a generalist with deeper knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

- Distributed systems;

- Software engineering of systems built to last;

- Security engineering, especially experience with secure boot chains;

- Low-level programming and debugging (C, Linux Kernel, …);

- Kubernetes, especially practical experience of running bare-metal production deployments;

- Platform development, ie. running a 'Company A' style infrastructure/DevOps team [2].

Our codebase is mostly Go (including pid1!), so knowledge of the language is a plus, but not a requirement (given the seniority of the position, we expect any candidate to be able to ramp up on Go within a few weeks).

Teleport - Comprehensive control plane tool, but also supports accessing apps behind NATs. Written in Go.

https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/blob/master/rfd/00...

I ordinarily would have said you reinvented Teleport <https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/tree/v14.3.7#readm...> but now that they've gone AGPL with v15 I'm guessing there's a market for MIT licensed stuff, although for sure since Teleport has been around for so long it has encountered more edge cases and undergone more security reviews. I was surprised while digging up the link that Gravatational is still releasing v13 and v14 updates under Apache 2, so maybe even Teleport will continue to have legs for those who cannot deploy AGPL stuff

Teleport is an SSH for Clusters and Teams and aims to be the drop-in replacement for OpenSSH.

Are you looking to set up SSO for your cloud infrastructure? Or maybe establish tunnels to access services behind NATs and firewalls. Then Teleport is for you. It provides connectivity, authentication, access controls and audit for infrastructure. The newest update has a tonne of new features and improvements including enhanced device trust support, SSH connection resumption, MFA for admin actions, improved provisioning for Okta, and heaps. more. Check out all the changes in the Teleport release notes.

In case you didn't see it: https://goteleport.com/blog/teleport-oss-switches-to-agpl-v3... and https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/pull/35259

I readily admit it's not the same amount of :fu: as BuSL or whatever the fuck is going on over at Sentry but still :-( as compared to their much friendlier Apache 2

OP here, thanks for posting! Happy to Answer any questions. I have to give our a shoutout to Alan at Teleport for all his work on Passwordless and his work to make Passwordless / TouchID work with MacOS CLI https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/blob/master/rfd/00...
