Tailscale PAM services

Last validated:
Tailscale PAM is currently in beta.

Services are resources on your Tailscale network (known as a tailnet) that are made available through the Tailscale PAM platform. They let you manage privileged access to the services.

Tailscale PAM supports various service types:

  • HTTP/HTTPS
  • SSH
  • Databases, such as:
    • Amazon RDS
    • Elasticsearch
    • Google Cloud SQL
    • Microsoft SQL Server
    • MongoDB
    • MySQL
    • PostgreSQL
  • Kubernetes
  • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
  • Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
  • Any TCP port
Services are the core building blocks in Tailscale PAM
