A recap of Tailscale's Fall Update Week
Fall Update Week is nearing its end, and Tailscale is a different product at its finish. As we said at the outset: simpler, smarter, and more connected.
Introducing Tailscale Peer Relays
Tailscale Peer Relays provides a customer-deployed and managed traffic relaying mechanism. By advertising itself as a peer relay, a Tailscale node can relay traffic for any peer nodes on the tailnet, even for traffic bound to itself. Tailscale Peer Relays can only relay traffic for nodes on your tailnet, and only for nodes that have access to the peer relay. Because they’re managed entirely by the customer, peer relays are less throughput-constrained than Tailscale’s managed DERP relays, and can provide higher throughput connections for traffic to and from locked-down cloud infrastructure, or behind strict network firewalls.
Introducing Tailscale Services
Today we’re excited to announce Tailscale Services, a new way to define available resources on your network and expand the granularity of your access controls to resources that may not have Tailscale installed on them.
One organization, multiple tailnets
We’re adding something new to Tailscale: organizations can now create and manage more than one tailnet, all backed by the same identity provider.
App capabilities, now for all your apps
Tailscale’s identity-based access controls allow for building powerful, secure applications on entirely private tailnets. You can already leverage user identity with our Go-based tsnet. Now we’re building on our prior work and taking it a significant step further, with Tailscale app capabilities. With the latest version of Tailscale’s serve function, third-party applications can accept grants through standard HTTP headers, in whatever language suits your needs.
