Additional improvements include better OpenSSH interoperability, server-side enforceable authentication, enhanced OIDC support, and friendlier CLI errors. Alongside this, a commercial Teleport Enterprise edition launches with RBAC, external identity provider integration, SSH agent forwarding, dynamic configuration, and 24/7 support. The release acts as a drop-in replacement for the 1.x series, with a backup recommended before upgrading, and an independent security audit of both editions is planned for publication. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Teleport 2.0 adds native DynamoDB backend support for storing cluster state, the option to disable Two-Factor Authentication, TOTP-based 2FA, a new framework for secret storage plug-ins, a finalized and documented audit log format, and an experimental file-based secret storage backend. It also improves OpenSSH interoperability and OIDC support. _Teams tracking Teleport upgrades can follow release changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Is Teleport 2.0 backward compatible with Teleport 1.x? Yes, Teleport 2.0 is designed as a drop-in replacement for the 1.x series. It is still recommended to back up cluster state before replacing the teleport binary, using the filesystem directory /var/lib/teleport or the etcdctl backup command for etcd-based deployments. _Engineers planning infrastructure upgrades can keep tabs on migration notes like this via daily.dev._ ### What is Teleport Enterprise and how does it differ from open source Teleport? Teleport Enterprise is a commercial version introduced alongside Teleport 2.0, adding role-based access control, integration with external identity providers, SSH agent forwarding, dynamic configuration for managing roles and trusted clusters at runtime, and 24/7 commercial support, on top of the open source distribution's features. _Evaluating open source versus commercial infrastructure tools is easier with comparisons surfaced on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication), [#ssh](https://daily.dev/tags/ssh), [#aws-dynamodb](https://daily.dev/tags/aws-dynamodb) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-0-release-information-zqvgxteqd) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Teleport 2.0 Release Information","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-0-release-information-zqvgxteqd","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-0-release-information-zqvgxteqd"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:23:28.066Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:48:45.722Z","description":"Teleport 2.0, an open source SSH server for managing distributed infrastructure, has been released with native DynamoDB backend support, optional 2FA...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--CxzD6vbw--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2005","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--CxzD6vbw--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2005","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Teleport","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Teleport","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Dw-Bbw6O--/c_limit,w_256/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487494/logos/teleport?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/teleport"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-0-release-information-zqvgxteqd","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"authentication,ssh,aws-dynamodb","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Teleport","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/teleport"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Teleport 2.0 Release Information"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/teleport-2-0-release-information-zqvgxteqd#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What new features are included in Teleport 2.0?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Teleport 2.0 adds native DynamoDB backend support for storing cluster state, the option to disable Two-Factor Authentication, TOTP-based 2FA, a new framework for secret storage plug-ins, a finalized and documented audit log format, and an experimental file-based secret storage backend.
