Newbie here to VPCs, bastion hosts, VPEs, etc. After spent a while on the topic, some questions arise that you might find redundant or can answer.

I am wondering why we need to configure this many steps as outlined in the article, and in general. What is the point of Teleport in the first place? Why is there no managed service that takes care of all of that, with me focusing on just deploying an app and running it in the VPC.

Can’t 99% of the use cases be put in a template and managed by a service provider, including the security?

This is the aws managed service (it’s free). https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide...

A lot of it is. But unless you stick to the big 3 cloud providers, you need this for bare metal / colocation server deployments, which also happen to be much cheaper.
