What Warpgate actually does
Warpgate is a bastion host and Privileged Access Management tool that proxies SSH, HTTPS, Kubernetes, MySQL, and PostgreSQL connections. It operates transparently without requiring custom client-side software installation.
Best fit: Teams needing centralised, audited access to internal infrastructure protocols without forcing developers to install proprietary client tools.
Worth knowing: As a critical infrastructure gateway, any downtime or misconfiguration immediately impacts all remote access paths to your systems.
Deployment notes
It typically runs within a containerised environment and requires persistent storage for configuration data, alongside network routing configuration to handle the proxied protocols.
