Zero-Trust RDP and SSH Access to VMs on Google Cloud
This sounds like a deal breaker for some use cases: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Trou... "Because of the way IAP Desktop tunnels RDP connections, it always uses NTLM for authentication and can't use Kerberos." There may be environments that lose the security benefits of Kerberos over NTLMv2 (e.g., mutual authentication) because they've been forced into a new compliance mandate that dictates adoption of Zero Trust in all available contexts.
- GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop: IAP Desktop is a Windows application that provides zero-trust Remote Desktop and SSH access to Linux and Windows VMs on Google Cloud.

Is it possible to use IAP Desktop to interact with Ubuntu desktop compute engine VM?
Just googled it and found this… so maybe I was wrong (not about RDP but wrong that the tool doesn’t support it)? https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Connecting-to-linux-instances
