Tailscale Services is now generally available

Tailscale Services has transitioned from its beta phase to general availability, introducing a service-aware networking model that simplifies connectivity by allowing resources to be published as named services with stable identities and granular access controls. This model eliminates the need for traditional service mesh overhead, enabling smoother migrations, scaling, and high availability without complex reconfigurations. The service now includes native integration with tsnet, Tailscale's Go library, allowing applications to register directly with Tailscale Services, making them application-aware and improving real-time traffic steering and availability decisions. The platform also extends connectivity to Kubernetes workloads, offering a consistent model across environments, and supports declarative configuration for GitOps-style workflows. Enhanced observability features, such as per-service audit logs and network flow logs, provide better visibility and auditing capabilities, while access control tests increase security by allowing validation of policies before production deployment. Tailscale Services is available on all plans, with users allowed to create up to 10 services, and the company offers gratitude to beta testers by excluding their usage from the limit for a year.
