Built for momentum: Tailscale Winter Update Week

Images made from combined shapes, in a triptych style. From left: a mug with steam on a coaster, from purple shapes; a snowflake in dark blue and light blue shapes; a candle and wick, from orange and yellow rounded shapes.

Starting on Tuesday next week, we’re rolling out a set of updates that reflect how quickly the world around secure connectivity is changing.

Like our Fall Update last year, this is a focused collection of features and improvements that makes Tailscale easier, more secure, and more capable across a wide range of real-world setups. It’s a week of shipping, showing, and connecting the dots, capped with a look at what it all adds up to.

I joined Tailscale a couple of weeks ago, and dropping into a team shipping this much has been a great way to learn what matters here: features built not just for customers, but to delight end-users, too.

Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing updates that touch on how teams connect CI/CD systems and workloads, how businesses manage access and privileged workflows, how modern AI systems get secured without special-casing everything, and how Tailscale shows up when secure connectivity is something you’re building into your own product.

Individually, each of these solves a very practical problem. Taken together, they point to a simple idea: Secure connectivity should make things easier to run, easier to think through, and harder to mess up, even as environments get more dynamic.

If you run security, this week is about clearer answers to “who can talk to what,” without slowing teams down. If you’re in IT or platform roles, it’s about fewer snowflake setups and fewer sharp edges. And if you’re building software, it’s about connectivity feeling like a foundation you can rely on, not a distraction you have to route around.

I’m excited to share what the team has been building. By the next seasonal update, I’m hoping to have contributed more than Slack reactions and this blog post.
