Teleport users will be able to satisfy per-session MFA checks by authenticating with an external identity provider as an alternative to using second factors registered with Teleport.

Access requests support for AWS Identity Center

AWS Identity Center integration will allow users to request short or long term access to permission sets via Access Requests.

Database access for PostgreSQL via web UI

Users will be able to setup Mailgun or generic SMTP server for access request notifications using Teleport web UI without needing to self-host the email plugin.

Production readiness

Teleport follows semantic versioning for pre-releases and releases.

Pre-releases

Pre-releases of Teleport (versions with suffixes like -alpha, -beta, -rc) should not be run in production environments.

Pre-releases of Teleport are great for testing new features, breaking changes, and backwards incompatibility issues either in development or staging environments.

Major Releases

Major releases look like 16.0.0.

Major releases of Teleport contain many large new features and may contain breaking changes.

Due to the scope and quantity of changes in a major release, we encourage deploying to staging first to verify your usage pattern has not changed.

Minor Releases

Minor releases look like 16.X.0.

Minor releases of Teleport typically contain smaller features and improvements. Minor releases can typically be deployed directly to production.

Most customers upgrade to the next major version of Teleport during the first minor release, such as 16.1.0.

Patch Releases

Patch releases contain small bug fixes and can typically be deployed directly to production.
