Hi Mitchell: what's your competitive landscape with Boundary?

When I first looked at the product description, I thought I might be looking at a "zero-trust identity-aware-proxy" sort of thing, but as I read more I got more of the "privileged access management" vibe with more of a focus on controlling access to infrastructure for developers vs. applications for end users.

So I've been casually doing some research into this in the past and was just updating my list so here's what I have so far. If I have missed any, please let me know.

* Azure App Proxy

* Google IAP

* Amazon WorkLink

* Cloudflare Access

* Zscaler Private Access

* Duo Beyond

* Hashicorp Beyond

* PrivX by SSH.COM

We provide a lean PAM solution for multi-cloud infrastructure access.

I believe Teleport is SSH only.
I think there may be some overlap with Amazon Systems Manager too.
Google BeyondCorp?
IAP is Google’s concrete implementation/product, BeyondCorp is the overall philosophy (not a product)
I think BeyondCorp == IAP

One example. I have been testing smallstep, which puts IDP around ssh (with group management), and also includes a dynamic host catalog (hosts run an agent that phones home to your identity provider).

However, I am very excited about Boundary as it seems to be a much more comprehensive solution.
