Detailed Comparison
It enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. Using IAM, you can create and manage AWS users and groups, and use permissions to allow and deny their access to AWS resources. | Teleport makes it easy for users to securely access infrastructure and meet the toughest compliance requirements. Teleport replaces shared credentials with short-lived certificates and is completely transparent to client-side tools. |
Manage IAM users and their access - You can create users in IAM, assign them individual security credentials (i.e., access keys, passwords, and Multi-Factor Authentication devices) or request temporary security credentials to provide users access to AWS services and resources.;Manage IAM roles and their permissions - You can create roles in IAM, and manage permissions to control which operations can be performed by the entity, or AWS service, that assumes the role. You can also define which entity is allowed to assume the role.;Manage federated users and their permissions - You can enable identity federation to allow existing identities (e.g. users) from your corporate directory or from a 3rd party such as Login with Amazon, Facebook, and Google to access the AWS Management Console, to call AWS APIs, and to access resources, without the need to create an IAM user for each identity. | Isolate critical infrastructure and enforce 2FA when accessing SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, applications, and Windows desktops/servers; Provide role-based access controls (RBAC) using short-lived certificates and your existing identity management service; Log and record session activity for full auditability; Forget about managing keys, VPNs, firewalls, jump boxes, or IPs; Implement protocols such as SSH, RDP, HTTPS, Kubernetes API, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others; Supports SAML, OIDC |
