For management, we built a simple wrapper over libvirt. I am setting up another rack in the US and will end up costing around $75Kper year for a similar capacity.

Our prod is on AWS but we plan to move everything else and it's expected to save at least a quarter of a million dollars per year

(October 2024)"]]>I am working on a couple of things.

- An open version of strongDM/teleport for privileged access management. I am currently testing it out in my org and plan to release the source soon. - I also run a free HTTPS and TCP tunnel which gets a few users daily (https://webrelay.dev)

It supports TCP, HTTPs tunnels and allows the user to create a lightweight overlay network to access remote services using local ports. https://docs.webrelay.dev/
