There is so much in that article that makes me shudder.

Running Kubernetes on a self driving car/truck? SSH-ing into a self driving truck? Both of those statements cause me to shudder at the thought.


The F-16 and U-2 run Kubernetes. I assume soon your fridge will run it.

Edit: not F-35

Instead of using teleport's pay services to do this, how is this any different really from having something out in the world on a lte connection initiate an openvpn connection back to your own server, and maintain a persistent tunnel to its new tun0 interface, and then ssh to that? The cellular network load of periodic openvpn keepalives is very low.

Or do the same with wireguard.


There isn't any difference, of course -- other than perhaps giving control of the keys to the kingdom to some Silicon Valley startup!

I was deploying cellular devices (from Digi and, later, Opengear) at power substations in rural areas to tunnel RS-232 serial in IP over IPSec over cellular connections a decade or more ago -- and it's not like I was the first one to do it.

Teleport is a YC company, though, which is probably the biggest reason so much of their marketing^Wblog posts show up here.


For remote interrogation of meters?


Yes, if memory serves, was the primary reason.
