In my own startups – ALight Technology And Services Limited (U.K) ALight Technologies USA Inc (U.S.A) I do everything from end-to-end i.e coming up with ideas, analysing value proposition, deciding on features, feature prioritization, cloud architecture, technical architecture, actual development, some sanity checks, deployment with the help of some CI/CD tools based in the cloud and blog articles in the open internet. I have been evaluating and experimenting with various methods of securely accessing cloud workloads.
I have tried few more things after writing the above mentioned blog post:
MagicDNS and Serve: Definitely useful feature for quick demos or prototypes.
SSH: SSH via Tailscale, did not trigger my alerts. I have configured and developed my own monitoring and alerting system based on NIST CyberSecurity Framework. When I SSH’ed via Tailscale by advertising node by passing –ssh these did not get triggered. The reason could be because Tailscale SSH does not use port 22 and that’s why port does not need to be opened. This option did not even require the .pem or password because SSH is being done directly inside of Tailscale rather than normal port 22.
I have not tried SSH without –ssh option i.e normal ssh while connected to VPN overlay yet.
I have uninstalled Tailscale and I might make further trials later or tomorrow.
