HashiCorp Boundary Has a Free API: Zero-Trust Access for Your Infrastructure

What is Boundary? HashiCorp Boundary is an open-source identity-aware proxy that provides secure remote access to your infrastructure without VPNs. Instead of managing SSH keys, VPN certificates, and firewall rules, Boundary authenticates users through identity providers and grants just-in-time access to specific resources. Why Boundary Over VPNs? No VPN needed — users connect directly to resources through Boundary Identity-based access — authenticate with Okta, Azure AD, LDAP — not SSH keys Just-in-time credentials — dynamic credentials that expire automatically Session recording — audit every connection for compliance Zero Trust — users only see resources they are authorized to access Architecture ┌──────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ User │────▶│ Boundary │────▶│ Target │ │ (browser │ │ Controller │ │ (database, │ │ or CLI) │ │ + Worker │ │ server, │ │ │ │ │ │ K8s pod) │ └──────────┘ └───────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │ ┌────┴────┐ │ Identity│ │ Provider│ │ (Okta, │ │ Az
