Summary

Tailscale, in collaboration with Pulumi, offers an innovative solution called Connecti for quickly accessing private subnets in cloud environments. This command-line tool, developed using Pulumi’s automation API and written in Go, allows users to provision Tailscale subnet routers in seconds without the need for infrastructure code, facilitating temporary VPN connections for debugging and accessing sensitive services. Pulumi is an open-source infrastructure as code platform that supports traditional and modern cloud architectures, and Connecti integrates seamlessly with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and plans to expand to other providers. By allowing quick and efficient connection setups, Connecti addresses common networking challenges, such as accessing private databases or servers, without the complexity of traditional methods like bastion hosts or custom TLS certificates. It supports Pulumi's self-managed backends and offers audit logs through Pulumi’s console, making it a versatile tool for DevOps teams needing quick access to isolated networks.
