Openshift Twingate Integration
OpenShift gives you full Kubernetes orchestration with enterprise features. Twingate replaces legacy VPN connections with a modern zero-trust network. Combined, they let engineers connect securely to pods, services, and internal APIs without exposing the cluster to the public internet.
Why Use Twingate with OpenShift
Twingate’s architecture keeps traffic encrypted end-to-end. It routes connections through secure connectors deployed inside your OpenShift cluster. These connectors talk only to the Twingate control plane, meaning network policies stay tight and attack surfaces stay small. No public IP. No inbound firewall rules.
Core Benefits
- Zero-trust access to OpenShift namespaces and services.
- Simple deployment using containerized Twingate connectors.
- Identity-based access control through SSO providers.
- Granular policies for service-level security.
- Real-time revocation without restarting workloads.
Deployment Steps
- Create your Twingate network in the Twingate admin console.
- Define Resources for the OpenShift services you want to expose.
- Deploy Twingate connectors as pods in your chosen namespace.
- Bind connector service accounts to minimal RBAC roles.
- Test connectivity through the Twingate client on your workstation.
This setup means developers, automation tools, or CI/CD pipelines can reach protected APIs without risking open ports. Identity-based permissions replace shared credentials. If a device is compromised, you disable its access instantly. With OpenShift’s container orchestration and Twingate’s secure networking, your cluster stays locked down yet reachable to the right people.
Configure it once. Maintain it with CI. Scale it globally without expanding your firewall rules.
