Boundary is built for ephemeral infrastructure, short-lived sessions, and zero-trust. OpenShift brings container orchestration, scaling, and resilience. Together, they give you secure, dynamic access workflows baked into your deployment layer.
With Boundary on OpenShift, you define what resources are accessible. Access is granted based on verified identity through trusted providers like Okta, LDAP, or Azure AD. There are no hard-coded secrets in configs or code. Credentials are generated on demand and expire as soon as the session ends.
You run Boundary inside OpenShift as a deployment or stateful set. Use Kubernetes services to route traffic and handle failover automatically. Integrate Boundary with Vault to issue dynamic credentials directly into your pods or external systems. RBAC and policy rules in OpenShift lock down who can manage Boundary components and who can connect through them.
This design eliminates static attack surfaces. Developers can connect to databases, APIs, or internal admin tools without ever touching the raw credentials. Operations teams keep visibility over every session, every authenticated request, logged in detail. Scaling is automatic. Rolling updates apply without breaking sessions.
Once deployed, you can instantly map endpoints to resources inside or outside the cluster. Boundary workers manage these connections securely, enforcing TLS and terminating sessions cleanly. OpenShift’s networking stack ensures isolation between namespaces while Boundary’s service catalogs unify access under one interface.
Bringing HashiCorp Boundary to OpenShift makes secure access control part of the cluster’s DNA. No separate access layer to maintain. No complex VPN configurations. Just direct, auditable sessions into exactly the resources allowed.
