What OpenZiti actually does
OpenZiti is an Apache-2.0 licensed, Go-based software project that establishes a zero trust, full mesh overlay network. It provides out-of-the-box two-factor authentication and supplies client applications for all major desktop and mobile operating systems.
Best fit: This is suitable if you need to build a secure overlay network across disparate infrastructure and require native client support for multiple operating systems.
Worth knowing: Setting up and maintaining a full mesh zero trust overlay network introduces significant configuration and operational complexity compared to traditional VPN solutions.
Deployment notes
As a Go application, it typically compiles into a single binary, though you will need to plan for persistent storage and network ports to handle the overlay traffic routing.
